How to navigate and manage Pro quota limits in Google Antigravity?

You’re on Pro but still hitting a sudden 7‑day lockout in Google Antigravity. The confusion stems from a hidden weekly baseline that can override your 5‑hour rolling refresh, plus a known auth sync bug that can misclassify you as Free.

The Problem

Pro users see a lockout message or throttling even when the 5‑hour “sprint” pool should refresh. Symptoms include a banner or status showing “7‑day wait,” a Baseline Quota stuck near 0%, or OAuth/Login errors in the Output panel. Heavy agent runs, multi‑file edits, or stuck loops deplete the weekly baseline very fast.

How to navigate and manage Pro quota limits in Google Antigravity?

Antigravity applies a dual quota:

• 5‑hour “Sprint” units (short‑term, rolling reset)
• 7‑day “Baseline” units (weekly cap that, once hit, overrides the 5‑hour refresh)

High‑cost actions such as repo‑wide refactors, browser/terminal tasks, or long agent loops can drain the weekly baseline quickly. A recurring issue is a “Tier Misalignment” where Pro is not recognized, showing a full (empty) Weekly Baseline even with light usage.

Solution Overview

Aspect	Detail
Root Cause	Weekly Baseline cap exceeded or Pro tier not recognized (auth sync issue)
Primary Fix	Verify which quota is limiting you, stop high‑drain runs, switch to a lighter model for simple tasks, and re‑authenticate if you see OAuth/Login errors
Complexity	Easy
Estimated Time	5–10 minutes

How to navigate and manage Pro quota limits in Google Antigravity?

Step-by-Step Solution

1) Identify what’s actually limiting you (Sprint vs Baseline)

• Open Antigravity in your IDE.
• Navigate: Agent Manager → Settings → Models.
• Check the “Model Quota Monitor.” Note:
• Rolling 5‑Hour Units (Sprint)
• Weekly Baseline (Marathon)
• If Baseline is low (for example, under 20%), preserve it by shifting simple tasks to a lighter model.

2) Stop high‑drain activity immediately

• Look for agents stuck in loops (many small edits without progress).
• Cancel the current run in the Antigravity panel.
• Avoid external “prompt chaining” tools; these can trigger abuse filters and an instant 7‑day lockout.

3) Switch to a lighter model for simple tasks

• In the model selector, choose “Gemini 3 Flash” for basic Q&A, summaries, or explanations to conserve Pro/Ultra budget.
• Reference: model options and capabilities are outlined here: Gemini models.

4) Re-authenticate if you see OAuth/Login errors (Tier Misalignment)

• Open the Output tab in Antigravity.
• From the dropdown, select Antigravity logs.
• Scan for “OAuth” or “Login” errors.
• Sign Out, then Sign In again to refresh subscription tokens.
• If the issue persists, confirm your account is the one with Pro and retry authentication. General guidance: Fix sign‑in issues.

5) Review detailed usage logs to spot silent drains

• In the sidebar, open the Activity or Account icon.
• Select Usage Dashboard.
• Open Detailed Logs or Quota Breakdown.
• Interpret the numbers:
• “Rolling 5‑Hour Units” = recent short‑term spend.
• “Weekly Baseline” = cumulative 7‑day spend; when depleted, you’ll be locked until the next 7‑day window.
• Typical cost hierarchy (from low to high): Simple Chat → Planning Mode → Multi‑File Edits → Browser/Terminal tasks.
• If heavy tasks consumed the baseline, schedule them after the weekly reset.

Alternative Fixes & Workarounds

• Use Tab Completion for micro‑edits (Top pick)

• Zero impact on Pro quota; ideal for small, frequent fixes.

• Run “Planning Mode” without execution

• Let the agent outline steps, then you apply selective changes manually to reduce multi‑file write cost.

• Chunk large refactors

• Split repo‑wide refactors into smaller folders/modules to avoid a sudden baseline dip.

• Run tests locally when feasible

• Offload frequent test runs from Antigravity’s Browser/Terminal actions to your local environment.

• Time‑shift heavy work

• Queue high‑cost tasks after your 7‑day baseline resets; do light tasks during the cooldown.

For recurring patterns and real‑world fixes, here’s a short roundup of common Antigravity quota issues.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If Weekly Baseline looks empty but you barely used Antigravity, suspect a Tier Misalignment. Re‑authenticate and confirm the correct Pro account is signed in.
• If the lockout message appears right after using third‑party automation, assume an abuse flag. Remove automation and wait for the reset window.
• If Sprint units never refill after 5 hours, verify the time since each spend; the clock is per‑unit, not global.
• Use the Quota Monitor near the start of a session to estimate safe work before a refactor or test run.
• Keep an eye on the Output tab after sign‑in to confirm no lingering OAuth/Login messages.

Best Practices

• Budget your baseline: treat repo‑wide edits and test runs as “expensive” and plan them intentionally.
• Prefer lighter models (e.g., Gemini 3 Flash) for straightforward prompts; save Pro/Ultra for complex agent work.
• Stop agents quickly if progress stalls. Reframe the prompt or reduce scope.
• Avoid third‑party prompt chaining that mimics spammy behavior.
• Review the Usage Dashboard weekly to learn which workflows cost the most and adjust.

Final Thought

This issue is typically solved by confirming which quota is limiting you, stopping high‑drain actions, switching to a lighter model for simple tasks, and re‑authenticating if your Pro tier isn’t recognized. With these steps, you can keep work inside the 5‑hour window while protecting your 7‑day baseline.
