$100/mo Google Ultra plan runs dry in 30 minutes testing Gemini Argon
firstadopter · x · 2026-10-14
A user bought the $100/month Google Ultra plan to test Gemini Argon 4 and ran out of quota in 30 minutes — with just three tabs open doing simple tasks like the Minecraft test and 3D voxel work, plus a sluggish agy CLI. firstadopter asks: given Google's resources, why are the usage limits so miserly? The only explanation that makes sense is that the model must be incredibly expensive to serve.
