On the occasion of the inaugural Keynote of Google I/O 2025the company had shared the new nomenclature of the subscription plans (Google to pros and ultra) with dizzying prices but as many benefits as higher use limits than the free level, a huge amount of storage space (shared between gmail, drive and photos), access to the model Gemini 2.5 Proto the functionality of Deep Research and the video generation via Veo.
Well, google on that occasion He had not shared the specific number of daily requests that paid users could send to the advanced models of Gemini before they are overcome.
Starting from I/O 2025, with the introduction of the new subscription plans, the company has simply stated that users of the 19.99 dollar plan per month (21.99 euros in Italy) would have obtained a “Extensive access“(Compared to the” limited access “of the free plan) for the 2.5 Pro version (preview), while the”Maximum access“It would have been available by paying $ 249.99 a month.
After days of bad moods and reports, Google decided to intervene directly on one of the most discussed points by its most advanced users: i Limits of use of the Gemini 2.5 Pro model Inside the Gemini app.
With a long -awaited as necessary, the company has Daily number of queries doubled Available for subscribers on the pros. We clarify.
Google doubles the search limits of Gemini 2.5 Pro to appease the disconnect, justified, of users
Without official press releases or preventive notices, some users of the Pro subscription have started to notice an anomalous behavior, namely that the system responded with a limit message reached after an unusually low number of interactions Daily with Gemini 2.5 Pro, the most powerful model available for non -Enterprise users.
In fact what seems to have happened is that Google, quietly, would have lowered the limits of interactions with Gemini But users have noticed them promptly.
The community reaction was not long in coming: in particular, to report the thing were those users who use Gemini for complex activities such as code writing or mathematical analysis.
To shed light on the situation was Josh Woodward, one of the managers of Team Gemini, who publicly recognized the negative feedback and complaints received by users.
However, without explicitly confirming that Google had changed the limits compared to before, detail of which nothing is still known, Woodward admitted that the daily limit had been set to 50 searches For the 2.5 Pro model.
A low figure, especially for those who sign a subscription thinking they have “expanded access” compared to the free version of the AI.
The new limit of 100 queries per day is coming but users ask for more communicative transparency
In an attempt to respond to requests, Google has now made official the new roof of 100 query per day for users.
A figure that should satisfy most advanced users, without forcing them to switch to higher floors or alternative models, free but less performing, such as Gemini 2.5 Flash.
These limits apply only to Gemini 2.5 Pro, not to the flash model, which remains unlimited for Pro users and also available for free ones, albeit with reduced capacities.
Woodward himself spoke of “Massive Demand”For Gemini 2.5 Pro, an expression that let the use of Gemini is growing how quickly the use of Gemini is growing And how much the computational cost and the growing question are factors to which Google must take into account to avoid further problems or degradation of the service.
Gemini 2.5 Pro is a sophisticated model, with advanced capacity for reasoning, mathematics and programming and, in many situations, moreover growing, represents a pillar on which entire companies or personal business such as independent developers and similar roles are based.
Therefore, after presenting the exponential growth of Gemini at Google I/O with conviction and safety, the time has come for the company Place the stability and transparency of the service at the centerand not only frenetic growth.
Google cannot afford communication ambiguity as the perceived value of a subscription to the model is not only measured in the power of the model, but also in the clarity with which Conditions and limits.
