Generated on:

Google has implemented independent usage limits for its Gemini 3 Thinking and Pro models, separating them from a previously shared pool. This change also includes increased daily prompt allowances for subscribers.

Background

Previously, both the Thinking and Pro models operated under a single shared usage limit. AI Pro subscribers had a daily limit of 100 prompts, while AI Ultra subscribers had 500 prompts per day for these reasoning models.

Reason for Change

Google stated that this adjustment was made in response to user feedback requesting more precision and transparency regarding model usage for daily tasks.

New Usage Limits

With the introduction of independent model limits, the daily prompt allowances are now:

  • AI Pro Subscribers:
    • 300 Thinking prompts per day (optimized for complex problems)
    • 100 Pro prompts per day (optimized for advanced math and code)
  • AI Ultra Subscribers:
    • 1500 Thinking prompts per day
    • 500 Pro prompts per day

Independent limits also apply to free users, with both Thinking and Pro models listed under "Basic access."
