Google Gemini Shifts to Compute-Based Quotas for AI Usage

News Flash 2026-05-19 12:32

Google has announced a significant update to its AI assistant, Gemini, by replacing daily usage limits with compute-based quotas. Effective May 17, 2026, users aged 18 and older will experience a new system where usage is calculated in real time based on prompt complexity, features used, and conversation length. This change eliminates the traditional daily cap on query counts, introducing a quota that refreshes every five hours with a weekly cap. The new quota system will see faster consumption when using advanced features like Pro models, Deep Research, and media generation. Subscription tiers will determine quota limits: AI Plus subscribers at $8/month receive double the quota of free users, AI Pro subscribers at $20/month receive four times the quota, and AI Ultra subscribers at $250/month receive twenty times the quota of free users.
