How to fix Google Antigravity quota issue?

by
Users are seeing quota available again after the five hour reset, yet they still get lock messages for six to seven days. The real blocker is a separate weekly cap and the AI Credits option burning through quota much faster than normal prompts.

Google Antigravity quota available but still locked for up to seven days

Hero
Many are confused because the five hour bucket shows a reset but requests still fail or the product shows a message like locked for six to seven days. The forum notes a new quota model that adds a weekly allowance on top of the rolling five hour window. When AI Credits is enabled, certain tasks consume quota at a much higher rate, which makes usage feel like it disappears instantly. Turning off AI Credits stops the accelerated drain. If you cannot turn it off in your build, a downgrade to a version without the Credits feature is the short term workaround.

Fix quota lock immediately by disabling AI Credits and reducing heavy tasks

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Disable AI Credits in Settings
  • Open Settings.
  • Find the Credits or Billing section.
  • Toggle AI Credits OFF.
  • Save and exit Settings.
This prevents high cost tasks from draining the remaining weekly pool. If you do not see the toggle, skip to the downgrade step below.

2. Restart and recheck both meters
  • Sign out, quit the app, then relaunch and sign back in.
  • Check both the five hour window and the weekly quota meter.
  • If weekly quota is zero, requests will keep failing until the weekly reset even if the short window shows available.
For planning around quotas and practical budgeting tips, see our short guide on how to manage pro quota effectively. 3. Use lighter prompts to stretch the remaining weekly pool
  • Prefer short answers and fewer tool calls.
  • Split large jobs into smaller runs over multiple days.
  • Pause high cost tasks until after the weekly reset.
4. Optional downgrade to a build without AI Credits If the toggle is missing or Credits is enforced in your release, reinstall an older build that does not include Credits. The forum guidance is to uninstall, clear cache and config folders, then install a previous version. Note: The original thread did not include exact file paths or commands. The templates below help you locate and remove Antigravity folders safely. Review matches before deletion. Windows PowerShell 
# Find likely Antigravity folders
Get-ChildItem "$env:LOCALAPPDATA","$env:APPDATA","$env:PROGRAMDATA" -Filter "Antigravity" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue


Close the app then remove matches you confirm are safe

Get-ChildItem "$env:LOCALAPPDATA","$env:APPDATA","$env:PROGRAMDATA" -Filter "Antigravity" -Recurse |
 Remove-Item -Recurse -Force
macOS Terminal 
# List likely folders
find "$HOME/Library" -maxdepth 3 -iname "Antigravity"


Close the app then remove confirmed matches


Example targets can include Application Support or Caches

rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Antigravity"
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Caches/Antigravity"
Linux Terminal 
# List likely folders
find "$HOME" -maxdepth 3 -iname "antigravity"


Close the app then remove confirmed matches

rm -rf "$HOME/.config/antigravity"
rm -rf "$HOME/.cache/antigravity"
Then install a previous installer from the official releases page for your platform and sign in again. Keep AI Credits off once you are back on a build that supports the toggle.

Alternative Fixes and Workarounds

Wait for the weekly reset
  • If the weekly meter is zero, waiting for the weekly reset is the only guaranteed recovery without changing versions.
Reduce concurrency and tool calls
  • Lower parallel jobs and tool integrations that inflate credit use.
Use a secondary workspace or account with its own quota
  • If policy allows, switch to a different workspace that has a separate weekly pool.
Stage heavy workloads right after reset
  • Schedule long running or high cost tasks immediately after the weekly refresh for maximum headroom.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Cannot find AI Credits toggle
Your build may have removed the toggle or made Credits mandatory. Use the downgrade route.
  • Still locked after disabling Credits
Your weekly cap may already be zero. You must wait for the weekly reset.
  • Frequent 429 or rate limit style errors
These are consistent with exhausted quotas. See MDN on HTTP 429 Too Many Requests for client behavior guidance.
  • Organization policy overrides
Admin imposed limits can cap usage below the product defaults. Check with your admin if meters look off.

Best Practices

  • Track both meters
Always check the short window and the weekly cap before starting heavy tasks.
  • Audit new features after updates
New features like Credits can change cost profiles. Review Settings after each update.
  • Design prompts for efficiency
Ask for only what you need, and avoid unnecessary long outputs or repeated retries.
  • Batch and schedule
Run expensive jobs right after a reset and spread work across days to avoid zeroing out the week.

Final Thought

The lock messages are not random. Disable AI Credits, verify the weekly meter, and keep tasks light until the reset or temporarily downgrade to a non Credits build. This approach gets you back on track fast and prevents the same block next week.
