Google’s Gemini usage limits have been all over the place recently, but thankfully, Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, has directly addressed the issue in a recent interview.

In recent days, many paid Gemini users kept running into usage limits with advanced models. The backlash was so intense that users even threatened cancellation of subscriptions.

Responding directly to the backlash, Google boosted usage limits for all paid tiers permanently by three times. You can read more about that here.

Despite these promises of improved usage limits, users still keep hitting a wall. As recently as a few hours ago (at the time of writing), one post on Reddit claims that 100% of the limit has been used up with one video creation query on Veo. The user was absolutely frustrated, calling the new caps “unusable.”

It’s presently unclear whether this is a one-off, since replies to the post linked above mention that such limits only apply for highly complicated prompts. Others mention that such problems don’t occur with simpler tasks, such as PDF analysis.

Thankfully, we have an official word from the CEO of Google himself. He directly addressed this issue, saying:

I do think… given it was a day after us putting out a lot of things, I think we had tightened usage limits to avoid outages, but you will see us make progress on usage limits very soon. That is rightfully a source of frustration… I feel the same. We will address it pretty soon and make progress.

You can find the exact interview (with the timestamp) from here.

Users on Reddit quickly picked up on these words from the CEO. While some people think the limits are reasonable since there’s a lot to ship, others say Google shouldn’t continuously decrease limits like this and then increase them later — just to show that it’s an “improvement.”

Either way, Google has actually been improving limits, and we’re hoping they stabilize down the line.
