Google has quietly revised Gemini’s usage limits, splitting the shared pool and increasing individual caps for the Thinking and Pro models. At launch, both models had the same daily quota, meaning that each prompt used for complex reasoning or advanced math and code counted toward a single limit. But that is no longer the case.
According to 9to5Google, Google has now divided the usage limits and given each model its own allocation. For Google AI Pro plan subscribers, the Thinking model is now limited to 300 prompts per day, while the Pro model is still limited to 100 prompts daily. On the Google AI Ultra plan, these numbers increase to 1,500 Thinking and 500 Pro prompts per day. Free tier users still have access to both models, although Google simply labels it as “Basic access – daily limits may change frequently” on its support page.
With this change, users no longer have to worry about whether trying to solve a complex reasoning problem will affect their ability to generate code or solve mathematical equations. The Thinking model, best suited for complex problems, and the Pro model, intended for advanced math and programming, now have special quotas. For anyone who feels restricted by the shared quota during longer sessions, this should provide some breathing room.
This move reflects Google’s ongoing balancing act between high demand and available bandwidth. Gemini 3 is extremely popular, and Google has already tinkered with free access, occasionally limiting image generation and instant counting during peak usage. However, with the increased caps, users of the Pro and Ultra plans should experience more predictable access and fewer interruptions during heavy use.
