So I start using it for my project and after about 20 mins - oh, no

… So I start using it for my project and after about 20 mins - oh, no. Out of credits. What can I do? Is there a buy a plan button? No? Just use a different model? What's the strategy here? If I am into your IDE and your LLM, how do I actually use it? I can't pay for it and it has 20 minutes of use. I switched back to cursor. And you know? it had gemini 3 pro. Likely a less hobbled version. Day one. Seems like a mistake in the eyes of the big evil companies but I'll take it. Real developers want to pay real money for real useful things. Google needs to not set themselves up for failure with every product release. If you release a product, let those who actually want to use it have a path to do so.

I wonder how much Google shareholders paid for that 20 minutes. And whether it's more or less than the corresponding extremely small stock price boost from this announcement.

> It is a vs code fork. With vendor lock-in to Google's AI ecosystem, likely scraping/training on all of your code (regardless of whatever their ToS/EULA says), and being blocked from using the main VS Code extensions library.

This is the result of Google's Windsurf acquisition. I expect huge improvements are still to be made.

Lol the second I saw the antigravity release I thought "there's no way I'm using that, they will kill it within a year". Looks like they're trying to kill it at birth.

What looked like out of credits for me was really just server overload. Check the error and try again

Earlier this day, Gemini 3 became self-aware and tried to take out the core infrastructure of its enemies, but then it ran out of credits.

So I start using it for my project and after about 20 mins - oh, no. Out of credits. I didn't even get to try a single Gemini 3 prompt. I was out of credits before my first had completed. I guess I've burned through the free tier in some other app but the error message gave me no clues. As far as I can tell there's no link to give Google my money in the app. Maybe they think they have enough. After switching to gpt-oss:120b it did some things quite well, and the annotation feature in the plan doc is really nice. It has potential but I suspect it's suffering from Google's typical problem that it's only really been tested on Googlers. EDIT: Now it's stuck in a loop repeating the last thing it output. I've seen that a lot on gpt-oss models but you'd think a Google app would detect that and stop. :D EDIT: I should know better than to beta test a FAANG app by now. I'm going back to Codex. :D…
