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 official has not responded so far.

ME News Update, 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 single downtime from April 14 to 15 lasted more than 9 hours. During that period, 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.”

Posts on Google’s official developer forum flooded in within a day, with 120 replies and reports from 80 users about 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 effectively turned into complete lockouts 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 per month Ultra plan. However, Ultra users also reported that quotas were being silently reduced and services were unavailable. One Ultra subscriber warned on the forum: “Don’t upgrade. Ultra is the same now—quotas get silently cut, no customer service, no announcements.”

Even more ironically, the bug feedback tool built into Antigravity itself also cannot submit reports, forcing users to swarm the forum instead.

This is not an occasional fault. The earliest forum post complaining about quota anomalies dates back to January 25 of this year. To date, it has accumulated more than 639 replies and 26,500 views, and the issue has persisted for nearly three months without resolution.

Over the past week alone, several new posts surged: “Antigravity is completely unusable,” “Pro account locked for 7 days—requesting a manual quota reset,” and “Clicking retry locks the entire account.”

Some users have already uninstalled Antigravity and switched to Cursor and Claude Code. On the forum, comments such as “bye bye antigravity hi cursor” have received top upvotes.

Antigravity is Google’s core product in the AI programming tools segment. It integrates multi-model calls, 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 production-level standards. Paid users are locked out for days with no official communication, and even the bug feedback channel is broken—fatal flaws for a tool that requires developers to migrate their everyday workflows onto.

Competition in AI programming tools has entered a phase where stability and trust matter most. Outages themselves are not uncommon, but three months of quota chaos combined with an official response that is completely missing is pushing early users toward competitors.
