Google's AI Tools Face Access Limits Due to Popularity

Surge in Users Leads to Updated Limits

Google's AI tools, Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro, have experienced a significant increase in users. As a result, Google has adjusted the access limits for free users.

Initial Free User Access

• Gemini 3 Pro: Free users could use the tool up to five times a day.
• Nano Banana Pro: Free users could generate and edit up to three images daily.

Recent Changes

• Gemini 3 Pro: Free users now have "Basic access" with variable daily limits.
• Nano Banana Pro: Image generation is now capped at two images per day.

Google notes that image creation is in high demand and that limits may change frequently.

NotebookLM Restricts Free User Features

Another Google AI tool, NotebookLM, has temporarily stopped free users from creating infographics and slide decks. These features rely on Nano Banana Pro's capabilities.

Impact on Pro Users

Even Pro users face new limits, though Google promises to restore full access soon.

Why the Changes?

Google attributes these changes to high demand for its AI tools.

Useful Features Temporarily Unavailable

• Infographics: Turn information into visual summaries with customizable layouts and detail levels.
• Slide Decks: Help create presentations or detailed reports.

Despite these changes, paid plans like Google AI Pro and Ultra remain unchanged.
