Google revamps Gemini AI usage limits, measuring compute power

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Google has updated its Gemini AI usage metering system, shifting from counting requests to measuring the computing power required for each prompt. This change affects users across Free, AI Plus, AI Pro, and AI Ultra tiers, with higher tiers offering proportionally more usage capacity. The complexity of prompts, the chosen Gemini model (e.g., 3.5 Flash), and the 'thinking' level (Standard, Extended, Deep Think) all influence usage. Context window sizes also vary by plan, from 32K tokens for free users up to 1 million tokens for AI Ultra subscribers. AI

IMPACT Users may need to adjust their prompting strategies to manage costs and usage under the new compute-based metering system.
