I’m on the Pro plan and honestly, I’m pissed.

Just one single prompt that includes referencing my NotebookLM + Google Doc already ate 47% of my current usage. One prompt. Not even a long one.

This is the part that makes me the angriest. Gemini’s biggest selling point is supposed to be its ecosystem. It works seamlessly with Google Docs and NotebookLM. That’s literally its strongest feature. But now using that strength is what destroys your quota the fastest? Are you kidding me?

I don’t sit in front of Gemini all day. Most of us don’t. I have a full-time job. The only time I can actually work is after I get home, shower, eat, then I have maybe 2-3 hours before I need to sleep. That’s my only window to finish freelance projects and make extra money.

Before this limit, I could sit down and finish one project in a single sitting. Now? One prompt + document reference = almost half my quota gone. I can only do 2-3 prompts max and then I have to wait 5 hours for it to reset. By the time it resets, it’s already midnight and I have to wake up for my real job the next day. So now I have to split my work across multiple days.

How the hell am I supposed to work like this?

This isn’t just inconvenient. This limit is actively punishing the exact people who want to use Gemini’s ecosystem properly. If Google isn’t ready to let paying users actually work efficiently with their documents, then they shouldn’t be selling the Pro plan at all.

Anyone else in the same boat? Especially freelancers or people with limited evening hours?
