How to fix Unacceptable Antigravity Quotas for Gemini 3.1 Pro and Workflow Completely Blocked?

You are blocked by a sudden Gemini 3.1 Pro High quota stuck at 20 percent with a 35 hour reset on Antigravity, even though you did not actively use it. This feels like a ghost drain that halts your Next.js work and makes the subscription pointless.

Antigravity Gemini 3.1 Pro quota stuck or draining with 35 hour reset

Your Antigravity dashboard shows Gemini 3.1 Pro High availability at 20 percent with a reset in 35 hours. You also notice other models like Claude and GPT OSS showing higher availability, which adds to the confusion. The key symptoms are a long reset window, a misaligned usage indicator, and a sensation that quota is depleting without visible activity.

The Problem in Context

  • Quota shows 20 percent with 35 hours reset on Gemini 3.1 Pro High
  • No recent manual calls, yet the number does not recover
  • Other models show better availability
This pattern almost always traces back to one of four things:
  • Background workflow runs, retries, or scheduled agents still making calls
  • Shared quota across a different project or workspace where someone else is calling the model
  • Leaked API key being used outside your app
  • A front end cache delay where the reset window takes longer to surface

Fast Fix for Ghost Quota Drain on Antigravity

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Confirm which project and workspace own your quota
  • In Antigravity, open Settings then Project and note the Project ID and Workspace name
  • Ensure your development app and API keys are tied to the same Project ID you see in the quota widget
If you also use Google Cloud or AI Studio under the hood, verify consumer quotas align to the same project:
gcloud config set project YOUR_PROJECT_ID
gcloud projects describe YOUR_PROJECT_ID --format="value(projectNumber)"

Use the number from above in the next commands as PROJECT_NUMBER

AI Studio Generative Language quotas

gcloud services quotas list \ --service=generativelanguage.googleapis.com \ --consumer=projects/PROJECT_NUMBER

Vertex AI quotas in case Antigravity is routing through Vertex AI

gcloud services quotas list \ --service=aiplatform.googleapis.com \ --consumer=projects/PROJECT_NUMBER
If the quotas here do not match what Antigravity shows, you are likely on a different backing project or a shared organization quota. 2. Find and stop hidden callers
  • In Antigravity, open Workflows and Agents
– Pause any workflow with a schedule – Open each workflow and disable automatic retry or continuous run toggles – Check Webhooks or Integrations tabs for triggers that may fire on events
  • Review Runs or History and sort by recent time to locate any process that keeps retrying
If your Antigravity project is connected to Google Cloud, pull recent API usage from Cloud Audit Logs:
# Replace YOUR_PROJECT_ID and adjust time window if needed
gcloud logging read \
 'protoPayload.serviceName="generativelanguage.googleapis.com" AND timestamp>="-'P2D'"' \
 --project=YOUR_PROJECT_ID \
 --limit=100 \
 --format="table(timestamp, protoPayload.authenticationInfo.principalEmail, protoPayload.requestMetadata.callerIp, protoPayload.methodName)"
Look for calls happening when you were idle. Note the caller email or IP. 3. Rotate keys to stop any leak immediately
  • In Antigravity Settings open API Keys then create a new key
  • Update your app config and CI secrets with the new key
  • Delete the old key
On your local machine, remove stray keys and cache entries:
# Example paths that often hold secrets
rm -f .env.local .env.development.local .env.production.local 2>/dev/null

If you keep env files in the repo, update and reissue them safely

Search your repos to ensure keys were not committed:
# Requires ripgrep. Replace YOUR_KEY_PREFIX if your keys share a prefix.
rg -n --hidden --iglob '!node_modules' 'AIza|ANTIGRAVITY_|YOUR_KEY_PREFIX' .
4. Verify reset window and capacity region
  • In Antigravity Quotas panel, note the reset time and any region label for Gemini 3.1 Pro High
  • Switch the model region if the platform allows choosing a different capacity region
  • If you cannot change region, select Gemini 3.1 Pro Standard or Flash for heavy iteration while waiting
Use a small canary request to validate capacity on the new selection before resuming full workloads:
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY"
export MODEL_ID="models/gemini-1.5-pro" # or the exact model your plan grants
curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "x-goog-api-key: $GOOGLE_API_KEY" \
 https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/$MODEL_ID:generateContent \
 -d '{"contents":[{"parts":[{"text":"ping"}]}]}' | jq .
5. Ask for a manual quota reset or increase Open Support from Antigravity and include:
  • Project ID and Workspace
  • Screenshot of the quota panel with reset timer
  • The last 48 hour call summary from your logs
  • A request to reset the Gemini 3.1 Pro High pool or provision a temporary increase
If your subscription tier caps the pool, Support may move you to a higher band. For plan nuances and why High tiers are throttled differently, see this explainer on subscription level and Antigravity quota behavior. 6. Short term unblocking tactics
  • Switch prompts that need fast iteration to Gemini Flash or Pro Standard
  • Reduce tokens per call and set a tight max output for debugging loops
  • Batch long context operations during low traffic windows
  • Cache deterministic steps so retries do not re spend
For users juggling resets and long windows, we have additional tips in this quota reset windows companion guide.

Alternative Fixes and Workarounds

A. Split workloads across projects
  • Create a second Antigravity project purely for heavy debug sessions
  • Use separate API keys so quota pools are independent
B. Fall back to available models for burst tasks
  • Route non critical steps to models showing higher availability in your dashboard
  • Keep Gemini 3.1 Pro High only for final review or production grade outputs
C. Reduce hidden retries
  • In every workflow node set retry policy to zero during development
  • Add guards so that webhook storms cannot trigger chains of calls
D. Enforce per minute client limits
  • Add a client side limiter so bursts do not deplete the pool all at once
  • Queue jobs during the reset window to smooth demand

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If the quota percent does not change after stopping all workflows, sign out then back in and hard refresh the Quotas panel to clear stale UI
  • Confirm you do not have a second browser session or teammate account with the same project selected
  • Check cron services or CI pipelines that may be calling the API with old keys
  • Inspect dependency bots that may run code examples during upgrades
  • If your Organization enforces pooled quotas, ask an admin to show active consumers across teams

Best Practices

  • Keep separate projects for development and production with different keys
  • Never store API keys in source control and rotate keys monthly
  • Add a usage dashboard that alerts when call volume spikes over normal baselines
  • Cap retries and add circuit breakers in agents and workflows
  • Schedule long context jobs during off peak hours to avoid capacity contention

Final Thought

The fastest path is to stop hidden callers, rotate keys, verify the correct project pool, and request a manual reset. Once you pin down the real consumer of your quota, your Gemini 3.1 Pro High availability will recover and your development rhythm will be back on track.
