Google's AI programming tool Antigravity has been down for several consecutive days, with paying users locked out for up to 7 days, and the officials have yet to respond.

ME News Report, April 16 (UTC+8), according to Beating Monitoring, Google’s AI programming IDE Antigravity has continued to experience widespread service outages over the past week. A crash that occurred on April 14 to 15 lasted more than 9 hours; during that time, all models—including Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Flash, and Claude accessed via Antigravity—were unavailable, returning HTTP 503 errors and the message “Our servers are experiencing high traffic right now.” On Google’s official developer forum, related posts poured in within a day, with 120 replies and 80 users reporting the same issue.

The problem is not just a temporary outage. Pro users paying $20 per month reported that the originally advertised 5-hour quota reset cycle had instead turned into a complete lockout lasting 5 to 7 days, during which no models could be used. Google’s response was a pop-up advising users to upgrade to the $200 Ultra plan per month. But Ultra users also reported silent quota reductions and service being unavailable. One Ultra subscriber warned on the forum: “Don’t upgrade—Ultra is the same now. Quotas are silently cut, no customer service, no announcements.”

More ironically, the bug feedback tool built into Antigravity itself also cannot submit reports, forcing users to flood the forum instead. This is not an occasional glitch. The earliest post on the forum complaining about quota anomalies can be traced back to January 25 of this year; to date, it has accumulated more than 639 replies and 26.5k views, and the issue has continued for nearly three months without resolution.

Over the past week, multiple new posts have flared up in concentrated bursts: “Antigravity is completely unusable,” “Pro accounts locked for 7 days—requesting manual quota reset,” and “Clicking retry instead locks the entire account.” Some users have uninstalled Antigravity and switched to Cursor and Claude Code, and on the forum, comments like “bye bye antigravity, hi cursor” have received high praise.

Antigravity is Google’s core product in the AI programming tools space, integrating multi-model calling, browser control, CLI execution, and reasoning mode switching. When it launched earlier this year, it was positioned as a direct competitor to Cursor and Claude Code. But based on user feedback, the product’s basic reliability still falls far short of a production-ready level. Paid users are locked out for days, there is no official communication, and even the bug feedback channel is broken—this is fatal for a tool that requires developers to migrate their day-to-day workflows. Competition among AI programming tools has entered a phase where stability and trust are key. Downtime itself is not rare, but three months of quota chaos combined with a completely absent official response are pushing early users toward competitors.
