Why I’m Leaving Google Antigravity: The Hidden Costs of a Pro Plan

3 min bacaan

I’ve been a subscriber to the Google AI Pro plan (RM 97.99/month) for a while now, primarily using Google Antigravity for my coding workflow. While the interface is slick, the actual service reliability has left me frustrated enough to make a change.

Here is why I’m downgrading my subscription back to the Premium 2TB plan.

1. The “Hidden” Quota Mystery

Only Gemini 3 Flash are renewed every 5 hours consistently. For Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude and GPT, the refresh rate is mystery.

One of the biggest issues with the Pro plan is the lack of transparency. Gemini 3.1 Pro (both High & Low) has a hidden weekly quota limit. Google doesn’t explicitly state what this limit is, which makes it impossible to manage your usage effectively.

To make matters worse, the sharing feature is broken. I shared my subscription with friends (since Google One allows up to 4+1 users), but when my friend logged in for the first time—having never used Antigravity before—their Gemini 3 Pro quota was already at 0%.

Even after waiting a full week for a refresh, the quota only returned to 20%. For RM97.99 a month, this level of unpredictability is unacceptable.

2. Gemini 3 Flash: Not So “Generous”

At one time, all of my model quota finished.

I initially subscribed thinking the Flash model would be generous enough for normal usage. I was wrong. I managed to hit the limit on the Flash model quite easily.

The real dealbreaker? Flash doesn’t allow overage usage. Once you hit the quota, you can’t even deduct from your existing AI credits to keep working. You’re just stuck.

3. “Server Busy” and Reliability

Lately, the Antigravity AI Assistant has been frequently returning “Server Busy” errors when using the Gemini 3 Flash model. The only way to get the assistant working again is to switch to the Gemini 3 Pro model, which immediately starts consuming my limited monthly AI credits. It feels like a “pay-to-play” loop that I didn’t bargain for.

The Good Stuff (But It’s Not Enough)

It’s not all bad. I genuinely love the UI and the interface. The VS Code experience is top-notch and feels very integrated. If I were judging it solely on aesthetics and UX, it would be a winner.

The Verdict: Switching to Zed + Ollama Cloud

I’m using Zed to draft this article (with Ollama Cloud).

At RM 97.99 per month, I expect a tool that works when I need it to, without hidden caps or sharing bugs.

This is my current Google One Subscription: Google AI Pro (2TB).

I’ve decided to move my workflow to Zed + Ollama Cloud. It provides a cleaner, more reliable experience without the “quota anxiety” of the Google ecosystem.

I’m officially downgrading my Google One plan back to Premium 2TB.
