Yeah this seems true. Claude Code are famously dubbed as best AI coding agent, but google doesn't care about that niche I guess. Somehow, I still rely on google search as they have diversified it.

If you ask questions, it will enable "AI overview" , but if we search about particular object/platform like "Google stock" or "bbc news", it will give the old classic search experience and we woulnd't need to swallow "AI overview" pill in that case.

I tried using Gemini CLI to sort some code issues for me, ran out of tokens mid-way through, even though I have Gemini Pro.

Turns out licensing is separate for "code" and "pro"...

Same happened to me. That was the death knell for Gemini as a coding agent to me. I even paid for a whole year...

I highly suspect they opaquely lowered usage limits on me.
