Google AI Ultra (€219.99/mo) user hits quota bug: locked out with 37% of 5-hour limit left

A Reddit user reports quota problems with Google AI Ultra (€219.99/month, advertised as 20x Pro usage):
- Using Claude in Antigravity IDE, just 4 bug-hunting turns dropped the weekly base quota from 100% to 67%; Gemini models barely moved the needle on the same workload
- Worse, a quota bug locked him out entirely: the 5-hour limit showed 37% remaining, yet dialogs refused further use
- His math: Claude burns 15% of weekly quota per turn, allowing 4 usable agentic turns per 5-hour window, while Gemini could stretch nearly the full limit
- He attributes the shallow Claude quotas to Google deliberately choking third-party models to favor its own, complains individual bug reports go unanswered, and asks other users to report the issue en masse
The thread highlights opaque quota allocation for competitor models inside Google's own IDE.
