No. That's not true. I'm convinced y'all are lying or don't actually use Gemini. I've already made a post showing how less than 20 prompts using 3.1 Pro Standard Thinking, in a NEW chat, on the Pro Tier sub, will eat up your entire 5 hour window.

But I just ate up 100% of the 5 hour window and 6% of the weekly in 11 prompts using 3.5 Flash Extended and 1 prompt of 3.1 Pro Standard Thinking...in a new chat....asking it about D&D hypotheticals.

That's all it took to lock me out of my 5 hour window. And I'm just a casual user.

How does anyone outside of the AI Ultra plan get anything meaningful done at all now? I cannot use 3.5 Flash Standard or 3.1 Flash Lite because they keep giving me wrong answers or hallucinating. They are very unreliable and untrustworthy models to the point I'm better off just googling reddit results for answers on something.

Am I really going to be forced back to GPT?

I have the Pro tier.

I was skeptical with all the posts about people saying the limits are awful. I've been using primarily NotebookLM since the rollout and haven't noticed any usage movement.

However, I decided to finally make my first post in the browser asking a D&D question since the new changes.

Brand new chat. My first short 3 sentence prompt was using 3.5 Flash standard thinking.

My second prompt was a follow-up of a single short sentence still using 3.5 flash standard thinking.

After the suggestion it gave me did not work, I made my 3rd single short sentence prompt but this time uses 3.1 Pro standard thinking.

It starts out apologizing that it previously gave me a hallucinated answer and that's why it did not work. Then finally gave me the correct answer to what I was looking for.

So my initial impression so far with 3.5 Flash is not great after just two prompts. I used to almost exclusively use 3.1 Thinking and for anything more complex I'd just use 3.1 Pro.

Here is the conversation link: https://g.co/gemini/share/071937abf64c

I checked usage for this single interaction. This used 0% weekly but 5% for my 5 hour window. This makes it so Pro will lock me out for 5 hours in 20 prompts or less. Definitely less if it's a larger context window or a more complex question than this ridiculously simple interaction.

And I currently don't trust the other models now (RIP 3.1 Thinking) because my first experience immediately resulted in a hallucination.

What utter, total bullshit.

Maybe I should repurpose my 7900xtx and just run local....

Those saying the limits are fine and the ones complaining are using it for coding...

"Surely it can't be as bad as this sub is saying." No, it's definitely not looking great.
