If you pay for the $19.99 per month Google AI Pro plan or the whopping $250 monthly fee for a Google AI Ultra subscription, your account just received a big upgrade.

As noticed by 9to5Google, Google has announced that it is upgrading paying subscriber accounts to give them more daily Gemini prompts to work with. 

For those paying $20 per month for the Google AI Pro plan, they can now use 300 prompts per day with the Gemini Thinking model. Gemini's Pro model, which is for more advanced math problems and code, now allows up to 100 daily prompts.

If you're a hardcore Gemini user paying $250 per month, your new daily limits are 1,500 daily prompts for the Thinking model and 500 daily prompts for the Pro model.

Previously, when Gemini 3 launched last month, Google AI Pro users had a total of 100 monthly prompts per day to use across both of Gemini's Thinking and Pro models and AI ultra subscribers had a 500 daily prompt limit. The new credit limits separate the two models and give them distinct prompt limits. No more shared prompt pool limits.

Free Gemini users will also now have distinct daily limits, however, Google does not share what those are, simply noting that prompt limits for Gemini's free tier can change daily.

Google says that it received significant feedback from users who did not want a "shared pool" for model limits.

"We’ve heard your feedback!" Google said in its announcement. "Many of you want more precision and transparency when deciding which model to use for your daily tasks. To give you more flexibility and control, we are separating the model limits for 'Thinking' and 'Pro' models."

The move away from the shared pool of limits makes sense, especially if the two models require different levels of computing power. As AI companies continue to try to outdo each other, making paying customers happy with alterations to how subscription plans work seems like a rather easy thing to do in order to beat out the competition.
