Key Points:
- Google has updated the Gemini app's usage limits to a compute-based system that accounts for prompt complexity, tools used, and chat length, with a 5-hour refresh until the weekly limit is reached.
- Users will soon be able to purchase pay-as-you-go AI credits, and the Gemini 3.1 Pro model now caps the compute quota per prompt to prevent large files from quickly depleting usage limits.
- Errors during requests do not count against user quotas, ensuring that only successful completions consume compute resources.
- Google will provide more detailed usage breakdowns and notifications for heavy tasks like Deep Research, while 3.1 Flash-Lite prompts are now free and do not count against quotas.
- A bug causing rapid quota drainage from a small number of Omni videos has been fixed, and Google AI Ultra users now receive double the Omni generation quota.
