Antigravity "Individual Quota Reached" Error: What It Means

Q: Is Antigravity error 429 my fault?

No, `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED (code 429)` means you hit a usage limit, which Google says depends on capacity and the amount of work the agent does.

Antigravity shows 'RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED (code 429): Individual quota reached'? Which quota it is, when it resets, and whether Google AI Pro or Ultra helps.

Quota rules checked Oct 31, 2026 in Google’s Antigravity plans docs and CLI quota docs. The error string is quoted from Antigravity CLI issue #1340 (verified Oct 31, 2026), with the raw API form from a third-party log, stranske/Orchestrator #741 (verified Oct 31, 2026). Every source is listed at the bottom. No affiliate links on this page (how we work).

The exact error: `Individual quota reached`

In the Antigravity CLI, it looks like this (from issue #1340 in Google’s own Antigravity CLI repo, CLI 1.4.7, opened Oct 25, 2026):

⚠ Individual quota reached. Please upgrade your subscription to increase your limits. Resets in 130h31m17s.

Tools that call the same backend directly can show the raw API form. This one is from a third-party project’s log, Orchestrator #741:

RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED (code 429): Individual quota reached. Please upgrade your subscription to increase your limits. Resets in 140h5m6s.

The one-line answer (as of Oct 31, 2026): you’ve used up your Antigravity baseline quota for that model, and the “Resets in” timer tells you when it comes back. It’s a usage limit, not a ban and not a server outage. Google’s plans docs say the limits are “primarily determined by available capacity and exist to prevent abuse”, and that they “correlate with the amount of work done by the agent”.

Google doesn’t publish the error string in its docs, and it doesn’t publish how big any quota is. So the rest of this page sticks to what Google does say, plus what the timer itself tells you.

Which quota did you hit?

Google’s plans docs describe three tiers, in words rather than numbers (verified Oct 31, 2026):

Plan	Quota	Resets
No Pro/Ultra	“A meaningful quota”	Weekly
Google AI Pro	“A high, generous quota”	5 hours, until weekly cap
Google AI Ultra	“The highest, most generous quota”	Every 5 hours

Source: Antigravity plans, verified Oct 31, 2026. Numeric limits: not published. Whether the weekly reset falls on a fixed day or rolls from first use: not published.

Each tier also has a weekly rate limit (“A weekly rate limit”, “A higher weekly rate limit”, “The highest weekly rate limits”). The Antigravity models docs show two meters, “Weekly Limit Remaining” and “Five Hour Limit Remaining”, with a separate meter for “Claude and GPT models” (verified Oct 26, 2026).

Here’s our read of the timer, and it’s an inference, not something Google states: a five-hour window can’t show a reset more than five hours away. So Resets in 130h31m17s (about 5.4 days) or 140h5m6s (about 5.8 days) means you hit a weekly limit, not the five-hour one. A timer under five hours on Pro or Ultra most likely means the five-hour window.

The “Individual” part fits the plans docs too: individual accounts sit under Google AI plans, while teams use Antigravity in Gemini Enterprise under Google Cloud terms.

Step 1: read the timer, then check your meters

The error tells you exactly when the quota returns. Don’t retry in a loop: the docs say nothing suggesting retries help, and the timer is the answer.

To see where you stand:

Antigravity CLI: type /usage (alias /quota). It refreshes your quota status “from the backend” and opens the Model Quotas panel with “a breakdown of your usage limits and remaining requests/tokens for each supported model” (CLI docs, verified Oct 31, 2026).
Antigravity app: baseline quota usage across models is on the Settings page (plans docs). Google’s help center also points to the Models selector (verified Oct 27, 2026).

One odd case worth knowing about: the reporter in issue #1340 says the CLI had shown plenty of quota left right before the error, during a session where they were using /compact. That’s one user report, open, with no Google answer as of Oct 31, 2026. If your meters say you have quota and the error says you don’t, add your details to that issue rather than guessing.

Step 2: switch model if you can

Google’s overage rules work “Once you exhaust the baseline quota for a particular model”, which tells you quotas are tracked per model. The CLI’s /usage panel lists quotas model by model as well. If one model is exhausted and another still has room, switching models is the documented way to keep working. On Pro and Ultra, Claude and GPT models also have their own meter, separate from the Gemini one (models docs, verified Oct 26, 2026).

What not to do: make extra accounts, rotate accounts or route around the limit. Google says limits “exist to prevent abuse”, and none of that is a fix it documents.

Does Google AI Pro or Ultra raise the limit?

Yes, by Google’s description, though it never says by how much.

Free to Pro: you move from a quota “refreshed weekly” to one “refreshed every five hours until the weekly limit is reached”, with “A higher weekly rate limit”. The Antigravity pricing page labels it “Basic weekly rate limits” on Free vs “More rate limits” on Pro (verified Oct 28, 2026).
Pro to Ultra: “The highest, most generous quota, refreshed every five hours” and “The highest weekly rate limits”, plus third-party models.
Prices (US): Google AI Pro $19.99 a month; Google AI Ultra $99.99 (5x) or $199.99 (20x) a month (verified Oct 29, 2026).

Pro and Ultra also unlock overages: “purchased AI credits” for usage “above the baseline quota”, charged “at standard Gemini Enterprise consumption pricing”. You choose how that works with the AI Credit Overages setting:

Never: “wait until the baseline quota refreshes before using this model further”. Google’s help center says you’ll see a “Baseline model quota reached” notification in this case (verified Oct 27, 2026).
Always: use AI credits when the baseline runs out, then switch back once it refreshes.

In the CLI, the matching setting is Use G1 Credits (useG1Credits in settings.json), set from /config or /settings. It was off by default when we checked on Oct 27, 2026. Google doesn’t publish an AI credit price on the Antigravity pages.

Free accounts can’t buy their way past it: overages are for “Users on Google AI Pro or Ultra plans”. There’s also no bring-your-own-key option “for additional rate limits”, per the same docs.

And Google says all of this can move: “Usage limits for this service are subject to modification.”

A message that says “upgrade your subscription to increase your limits” when Google won’t say what any subscription’s limit actually is asks you to pay for a number you can’t see. Plans docs say “generous”, “higher” and “highest”. Developers budget in hours, not adjectives.

Before you upgrade

Upgrading only helps if the limit is what’s slowing you down week after week. If you hit the weekly cap once on a big refactor, waiting out the timer costs nothing. If it happens every week, Pro’s five-hour refresh is the documented step up. For the full plan breakdown, see Antigravity usage limits, Antigravity Plus vs Pro, Is Antigravity free? and Antigravity pricing. Seeing a similar 429 in Google’s other coding CLI? That’s Gemini CLI 429 error. Comparing tools: AI coding tools compared.

Here’s what I’d do

Read the timer. Over five hours means a weekly cap, so either switch to a model that still has quota (check /usage or Settings) or plan around the reset. Under five hours on Pro or Ultra, take a break or switch models. If you’re on Pro or Ultra and the work can’t wait, set AI Credit Overages to Always for that stretch, and turn it back to Never after. If you’re on Free and hit this every week, that’s the case for Pro. And if /usage says you have quota while the error says you don’t, comment on issue #1340.

Seeing a vaguer message? Antigravity “Agent execution terminated due to error” covers the network, sign-in and quota causes behind it.

Stuck on a verification or eligibility screen instead of a quota message? See the Antigravity verification required fix.

Quota messages look different from a 400. For location and INVALID_ARGUMENT 400s, see Antigravity Error 400.

FAQ

What does Individual quota reached mean in Antigravity? You’ve used up your individual account’s baseline Antigravity quota for that model, and the “Resets in” timer shows when it returns.

When does Antigravity quota reset? Free accounts refresh weekly, while Google AI Pro and Ultra refresh every five hours (Pro until its weekly limit is reached); the exact time is the “Resets in” timer in the error.

Is Antigravity error 429 my fault? No, RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED (code 429) means you hit a usage limit, which Google says depends on capacity and the amount of work the agent does.

Does Antigravity Pro remove the limit? No, Google AI Pro raises it with a five-hour refresh and a higher weekly limit, and lets you buy AI credits for overages, but a weekly limit still applies.

Why does the timer say over 100 hours? Our read is that a reset more than five hours away means a weekly limit, since the five-hour window can’t be that long.

Can a free account buy more Antigravity quota? No, Google says AI credit overages are only for Google AI Pro and Ultra users, and there’s no bring-your-own-key option for more limits.
