Google changes how Gemini usage is calculated

Under the new update, usage allowances will vary depending on several factors, most notably the length of conversations, the complexity of prompts, as well as the use of advanced tools such as image and video generation and deep search and analysis features.

Google confirmed that paid plans will receive higher usage capacity compared to free accounts, amid growing demand for advanced AI services and their high consumption of computing resources.

This change comes in line with similar shifts across tech companies, as AI systems evolve into agent-like tools capable of performing complex tasks that require significant processing power within a single session.
