I have been itching to try a proper coding project with Google’s new Antigravity platform ever since it was announced. As someone whose coding skills lean heavily into the web and front-end side of things (give me HTML and CSS any day), the promise of an “agentic” IDE that can not only write code but actually check its work in a browser is incredibly exciting.
I still don’t know exactly what I want to build yet—maybe a golf-related training app or a simple Chrome Extension—but a new update from Google today makes me feel a lot more motivated to just jump in and get started.
More power for Pro and Ultra subscribers
According to a new update from the Google Antigravity team, they are rolling out significantly higher rate limits for subscribers to meet the “incredible” demand they’ve seen.
For those of us with Google AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions, we are getting upgraded to priority access. This includes the platform’s “highest, most generous rate limits” with quotas that refresh every five hours. This is a huge deal for “vibe coding” or iterating on a project where you might burn through a lot of prompts quickly while figuring things out.
A smarter limit for free users
If you are on the free plan, Google is making a smart shift there, too. Instead of a daily cap that might cut you off in the middle of a flow, they are moving to a larger, weekly-based rate limit. The idea is to minimize the frustration of hitting a limit right when you are in the middle of a project, giving you a bigger bucket of usage to spend when you actually have the time to code.
Ready for liftoff
Regardless of your tier, everyone keeps access to the powerful Gemini 3 Pro model, unlimited tab code completions, and the core features that make Antigravity so cool, like the Agent Manager and Browser integration.
Knowing that I have a “generous” quota that refreshes throughout the day makes the idea of starting a project feel a bit less daunting. Now I just need to come up with my first app idea, dive in, and see where Antigravity can take me!
