Gemini Argon quota test: $99 Ultra plan drained to 16% after 3 days of heavy use

teortaxesTex quotes a long-time Gemini user's hands-on test of the new Gemini 4 Argon quotas. The user found a huge gap between Pro and the two Ultra tiers: on the $99 Ultra plan (kept for the cloud storage/YouTube Pro bundle), three days of intensive work left just 16% of the weekly quota. After upgrading to the $200 tier, the drain rate of the weekly and 5-hour quotas suggests notably more quota than an Anthropic Max plan. The poster concludes that anything under $200 looks useless compared to Claude, and possibly worse than OpenAI — a pointed challenge to Google's subscription tiering.
