There is consensus on r/gemini that the window is a matter of hours now, not 24h.
I subscribe to the AI Pro plan. I knew of a published limit of 100 Pro prompts per day, but before this month it seemed they were relaxed about it. I have now started to be rate limited on Pro when nowhere near that quota, due to too many prompts within a short time window (probably due to short prompts and not aggregating my questions). So now I use the Thinking (basically Flash) model and bump up to Pro for certain queries only.
There will always be a minority who spoil it for the majority.
I don't know why you rely on some Reddit consensus when you can just open Gemini CLI and enter /stats to get the confirmation that you get 200 Pro requests per 24h, and the counter starts when you do your first request.
Unless there is something I'm missing
If it was a daily quota issue, I would have been notified and unable to use more Pro requests until the 24hr period had reset.
This was a temporary rate limit and it told me to try again at a specified time which wasn’t far away. That’s different.
However, it could have been because of a temporary capacity issue. I hope so.
