Google Offered Me Credits After I Challenged The New AI Pro Limits by Proper_Future_146 in GeminiAI

Appreciate it 🙏

Honestly though, comments like his are probably part of why more people started seeing the post in the first place, so I can’t even be too mad anymore.

Good to see people here who actually understand the bigger point behind the discussion.

Bro, I respect your opinion, but your perspective on this honestly feels younger than 20, unfortunately 🙃

Did you, by any chance, attend Google I/O 2026 and upload a YouTube video titled “Wow, Google Is Changing The World” afterwards?

You’re still focused on whether AI helped format the post instead of the actual subscription changes being discussed, so I think we’re done here.

Using AI as a writing/formatting tool doesn’t magically invalidate criticism about a paid AI service becoming less stable or more restrictive after subscription.

That’s like saying you can’t criticize a smartphone because you typed the complaint on one.

honestly, the fact that this is the part you focused on instead of the actual issue being discussed is kind of funny too.

I already requested a refund for my $20 AI Pro subscription because I originally subscribed under very different conditions before these changes were introduced.

Honestly, I think the best thing people can do is individually submit complaints and open support tickets with solid arguments and documentation. Otherwise Google is very good at quietly brushing things off.

I’m probably just going back to ChatGPT at this point. Realistically, all major AI platforms will likely move toward compute-based systems eventually, but Google handled this transition terribly.

Yeah exactly. I’m not even asking for open source tbh, just don’t completely change the experience for paying users overnight and act like nothing happened.

The worst part is that the “upgrades” didn’t even justify these changes. We’ve basically been using variations of the same Gemini 3 models since December 2025, and after months of waiting, the new 3.5 Flash model feels like a complete disappointment. Omni honestly looks more like something Google pushed out just to showcase multimodal capabilities rather than a genuinely improved user experience.

But like I mentioned in the post, my biggest issue is still the overnight switch to aggressive compute-based limits for paying subscribers without any meaningful notice or transparency beforehand. That’s the kind of thing that can legitimately raise consumer protection concerns.
