TL;DR<\/p>\n

Google has completely wiped the quota counters back to zero for all free and paid Gemini users
\nThe reset accompanies a new iteration of the Gemini 3.5 Flash to fix sudden drop-offs in output quality in Antigravity.
\nThis update boasts much less and has higher endurance on harder tasks.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been tracking Google\u2019s rapid iterations inside Antigravity, you\u2019ll remember that they recently spun up a \u201cLow-effort\u201d variant of Gemini 3.5 Flash<\/a>. The goal was simple: stop the AI from overthinking basic requests and swallowing your entire token quota on simple coding tasks. However, the execution didn\u2019t quite land perfectly. Google is once again rolling out a new version of Gemini in Antigravity to fix some of the issues that have cropped up since its last iteration.<\/p>\n

Varun Mohan, Director at Google DeepMind, working on Antigravity, announced on X<\/a> that the team has deployed a refreshed version of this Gemini 3.5 Flash model. According to Mohan, this updated variant boasts much less and features significantly higher endurance when tackling harder software engineering tasks.<\/p>\n

Gemini 3.5 Flash (Low) cut token generation by roughly 45% compared to the original model (now dubbed the \u201cMedium\u201d variant), giving developers a lighter tool for lightweight tasks. While it stopped the token bleeding on minor jobs, developers noticed a significant drop-off in output quality and structural consistency when a task required just a bit more heavy lifting. Google essentially traded efficiency for endurance, leaving a blind spot when a \u201csimple\u201d task unexpectedly required a deeper analytical push. Google\u2019s new Gemini 3.5 Flash version should fix this blind spot, though it\u2019s unclear whether it\u2019s for Low or Medium effort variants.<\/p>\n

As Google usually does as a gesture of goodwill, the company has once again\u00a0completely reset Gemini rate limits for all Antigravity users. Whether you are on a free tier or a paid plan, your counters are back to zero, so you can put the updated model through its paces immediately.<\/p>\n

It is worth reiterating that these \u201ceffort-level\u201d variants (Low, Medium, and High) are specific to Antigravity. You shouldn\u2019t expect to see a \u201cGemini 3.5 Flash Low\u201d toggle inside your consumer-facing Gemini app anytime soon.<\/p>\n

We will have to see if this iteration finally strikes the right balance between saving your quota and actually getting the job done.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, users are requesting on X<\/a> that Google integrate a weekly usage bar so that they can keep track of their usage, as they can\u2019t currently see how much weekly quota they have left and when it resets.<\/p>\n

Mohan has taken note of this feedback, so hopefully, there\u2019s good news coming on this end, too, in the future.<\/p>\n
