"Google AI Ultra" is a consumer offering though, there's no API to have quotas for?
I'm afraid they're going to lower the limits once Ultra is available. I use Gemini Pro everyday for at least 2 hours but never hit the limit
I have the same concerns. To push people to the ultra tier and get their bonuses their going to use dark patterns.
The only reason I maintain Claude and OpenAi subscriptions is because I expect Google to pull the rug on what has been their competitive advantage since Gemini 2.5.
Have you also noticed a degradation in quality over long chat sessions? I've noticed it in NotebookLM specifically, but not Gemini 2.5. I anticipate this to become the standard, your chat degrades subtly over time.
The Gemini 2.5 Pro 05/06 release by Google’s own reported benchmarks was worse in 10/12 cases than the 3/25 version. Google re routed all traffic for the 3/25 checkpoint to the 05/06 version in the API.
