Gemini Plus user suspects Astra limits were quietly nerfed after a 35-minute think with no output

A Plus subscriber reports that Astra (max mode) spent 35 minutes thinking on a single question and produced nothing, with limits resetting at 1:30pm. The same prompt completed fine on Friday, leading the user to suspect the limits were quietly nerfed — unconfirmed, but at minimum they want the model to finish a prompt it started.
