One and Done: Google's Gemini Usage Caps Lock Out Users After a Single Prompt

Google's recently implemented compute-based limits for Gemini Advanced are under fire following reports that users are exhausting their five-hour usage windows almost instantly. One subscriber provided evidence of being locked out after a single unsuccessful prompt, highlighting a major flaw in how the system calculates task complexity. While Google has acknowledged the frustration and is reviewing the feedback, the lack of a clear compute meter leaves Pro subscribers guessing how much of their quota remains, leading to concerns about the reliability of the paid service.
