One prompt spawned 149 Gemini chats in a runaway loop, user reports

A Reddit user trying to build a biophysics formula sheet accidentally resubmitted a prompt on Gemini, then watched new chats multiply exponentially — 1, 2, 4, 9… up to 149 sessions on Flash-Lite with slightly different outputs — until their usage limit kicked in. Likely a runaway retry/scheduling bug; no official explanation yet.
