How to Check Your Antigravity Usage Quota: CLI & Windows App Guide

If you are using Antigravity for coding, content workflows, debugging, or testing different AI models, it is useful to know exactly how much quota you have left before your work gets interrupted. The good news is that checking your quota is simple in both the Antigravity CLI and the Windows app. The main thing is knowing where to look, what the percentage means, and how to respond when a model limit has already been reached.

Quota limits can feel annoying when you are in the middle of a task. You might be asking Antigravity to generate code, review a file, fix an error, or explain something inside a project, and then suddenly you receive a quota message. It is not always clear whether the whole app is unavailable, whether only one model family has reached its limit, or whether switching models will let you continue working.

This guide walks through the practical steps shown in the video, with a little more explanation around what each screen means. The focus is on the two places most people will check first: the CLI using the /usage command, and the Antigravity Windows app through the Settings area.

Key idea: If one model quota is used up, Antigravity may still let you continue with another available model, depending on your plan and current usage.

The Problem: Antigravity Quota Can Run Out While You Are Working

The most common reason to check your quota is simple. You are using Antigravity, everything is working, and then a model suddenly stops responding because the limit has been reached. This is especially noticeable if you are using it heavily for development work, long prompts, code generation, large refactoring tasks, or repeated testing.

When that happens, there are usually a few questions that come up straight away:

• Have I reached the limit for all models, or only one model group?
• How long do I need to wait before the quota refreshes?
• Can I switch from Gemini to Claude or GPT and keep working?
• Where do I check quota usage in the CLI?
• Where do I check quota usage inside the Windows app?

The confusion usually comes from the fact that Antigravity can show different model families in the same usage area. In the transcript example, the Gemini models have reached the weekly limit, while the Claude and GPT models are still visible as separate options. That distinction matters because it can decide whether you need to stop work completely or just change model.

Why This Matters For Real Workflows

For a casual test, quota usage might not feel like a big issue. But if you are building something, editing videos, fixing website code, writing scripts, or using AI as part of your work routine, quota awareness becomes part of the workflow.

For example, if you are using Antigravity to help analyse a project, you may not want to waste prompts on vague questions. You may want to ask more targeted questions, choose the right model for the task, and check remaining quota before starting a long session. This is similar to checking battery before recording video, checking storage before filming, or checking fuel before a drive. It is a small habit that prevents disruption.

In my own tech workflow, I like tools that show usage clearly. If a tool gives me a percentage and a refresh time, I can plan around it. If I know one model has reached zero percent but another model is at one hundred percent, I can make a practical decision instead of guessing.

The Solution In The CLI: Use The Slash Usage Command

The quickest way to check quota in the Antigravity CLI is to use the usage command after logging in. This is useful if you are already working in the terminal and do not want to open the Windows app just to check your limits.

Once you are logged into the CLI version of Antigravity, type the following command and press Enter:

/usage

This brings up the current model usage information directly inside the CLI. It is a simple command, but it gives you the important details you need before continuing.

In the screenshot, the /usage command is used after logging in. This is the command you should remember if you mainly use Antigravity through the terminal. You do not need to dig through menus, open extra panels, or guess which model is currently limited. The CLI usage screen gives you a direct view of the quota status.

Step By Step: Checking Usage In Antigravity CLI

1. Open your terminal or command prompt where you normally run Antigravity.
2. Log into the Antigravity CLI if you are not already logged in.
3. Type /usage.
4. Press Enter.
5. Review the model groups and quota percentages shown on screen.
6. Look for any reset or refresh time if a limit has been reached.

This process is especially handy when you are moving quickly. If you are in the middle of a coding session, you can check usage without breaking focus. The command gives you enough information to decide whether to continue with the same model or switch to a different one.

Understanding What The Usage Screen Is Telling You

After running /usage, Antigravity shows quota details for the available model families. In the video example, the usage screen shows Gemini models, including a weekly limit and a shorter refresh window. It also shows Claude and GPT models, which are treated separately.

The important thing is not just the percentage. You also want to pay attention to the type of limit and the reset time.

Usage item	What it means	What to do
Zero percent remaining	The available quota for that model group has been used	Check the reset time or switch to another available model
One hundred percent remaining	The quota has refreshed or has not been used yet	You can continue using that model group
Refresh time shown	The system is telling you when quota becomes available again	Wait until that time if you want to use the same model
Multiple model groups listed	Limits may be separate across Gemini, Claude, and GPT options	Check each group before assuming the whole service is blocked

In the transcript, the Gemini models were at zero percent. The screen also showed that the five hour limit would refresh in three hours. However, because the weekly limit had already been reached, the shorter refresh did not solve the main issue. That is an important detail.

Sometimes a usage screen can show more than one type of limit. A shorter limit might refresh soon, but if a broader weekly limit is already exhausted, you may still need to wait for the weekly reset before using that same model group again.

This is where checking the details matters. If you only see the refresh in three hours message, you might assume you can use the model again after that time. But if the weekly limit is already at zero percent, the model may still remain unavailable until the weekly quota resets.

How To Read The Gemini Usage Limit

In the example from the video, the Gemini model usage has reached zero percent. That means the available quota for Gemini is gone at that moment. The screen mentions the weekly limit and a five hour limit, which can make the situation feel a little confusing if you have not seen this layout before.

Think of it like two separate gates. One gate resets more often, and another gate resets less often. If the smaller gate refreshes but the larger weekly gate is still closed, you may still be blocked from using that model family.

For practical purposes, you can read it like this:

• If Gemini shows zero percent, you cannot use Gemini at that moment.
• If a short refresh time is shown, that only applies to that shorter usage window.
• If the weekly limit has also been reached, you may need to wait longer.
• If other model families still have quota, you can consider switching models.

This is useful because it stops you wasting time retrying the same request over and over. If the limit has been reached, repeated attempts will not fix the issue. You either wait for the reset, reduce usage, or change to an available model.

Why Your Quota May Be Reached Faster Than Expected

Quota usage can disappear faster than expected if you are doing heavier tasks. AI coding assistants can consume quota when they read context, generate responses, process files, or handle repeated prompts. Even if you feel like you only asked a few questions, the background context can be larger than you realise.

Some common reasons quota gets used quickly include:

• Asking the model to review large files or multiple files
• Running repeated prompts while debugging the same issue
• Using high capability models for small tasks
• Regenerating answers many times
• Leaving the model to analyse broad project context instead of a specific file
• Testing several approaches without narrowing the request

This does not mean you should avoid using powerful models. It just means quota becomes easier to manage when you match the model to the task. If you are asking a simple formatting question, you may not need the most advanced option. If you are debugging complicated logic, using a stronger model may be worth it.

For entrepreneurs, developers, and creators, this is similar to managing any other resource. You do not want to overcomplicate it. You just want enough visibility so you can keep working without surprises.

Simple workflow tip: Before starting a long Antigravity session, run /usage first. It takes a few seconds and helps you decide which model to use before you begin.

The Practical Difference Between Gemini, Claude, And GPT Options

One of the helpful points from the video is that Antigravity can provide access to other model families depending on your plan. In the example, the account is on a Google AI Pro plan. Even though the Gemini quota has been reached, there are still Claude and GPT options visible.

The Claude models mentioned are Claude Opus and Claude Sonnet. The GPT option mentioned is GPT OSS. In the transcript example, Claude Sonnet is currently being used, and that model group has refreshed to one hundred percent.

This is important because it changes the way you respond to a quota issue. If Gemini is out, it does not automatically mean all work must stop. You may be able to continue with Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus, or GPT OSS if those models are available under your plan and still have quota.

Here is a simple way to think about the model options:

Model family	Example models shown	Practical use case
Gemini	Gemini models	General AI assistance, coding, writing, and analysis depending on availability
Claude	Claude Sonnet and Claude Opus	Detailed reasoning, coding support, analysis, and longer written responses
GPT	GPT OSS	General purpose assistance, technical tasks, and alternative model access

The best model depends on what you are doing. For normal coding help, Claude Sonnet can often be a strong practical option. For heavier reasoning, Claude Opus may be useful if available. For general tasks, GPT OSS gives another path when other quotas are limited.

The bigger lesson is to avoid thinking of quota as one single bucket unless the app clearly shows it that way. Antigravity may display separate usage information across model families, which means you should check the exact model group before deciding what to do next.

What Happens When You Reach A Quota Limit

When the quota has been reached, Antigravity can show a pop up message. In the video, the message says that the quota has already been reached and provides a reset date and time. This is useful because it tells you the system is not broken. It is simply enforcing the usage limit.

That message can be dismissed, but dismissing it does not reset the quota. It only closes the notification. After that, you still need to either wait for the reset time or use another model that has available quota.

When you see a quota reached message, go through this quick checklist:

• Read the reset date and time carefully.
• Check whether the message applies to one model family or the whole account.
• Open the usage screen to confirm the percentage.
• Look for other model options that still have quota.
• Switch models if your plan allows it and the task can continue.
• If no suitable model is available, pause the task until the quota resets.

This is where the CLI and app checks complement each other. The CLI is fast when you are already in terminal mode. The app is useful when you want a more visual look at the model list and settings.

Checking Usage In The Windows App

If you are using the Antigravity Windows app, the quota information is available through the Settings area. This is a better option if you prefer a visual interface or if you are already working inside the app rather than the terminal.

The path is simple:

1. Open the Antigravity Windows app.
2. Go to the left hand side menu.
3. Select Settings.
4. Open the Models section.
5. Review the model usage percentages shown there.

Inside the Models section, you should see the available model families and their usage status. In the video example, the Gemini models show zero percent, which means they cannot be used at that time. The Claude and GPT models are also shown, giving you a clear view of alternative options.

The Windows app method is especially useful if you are not comfortable using terminal commands. It also gives you a central place to review model availability before choosing which model to use for your next prompt.

Why The App View Is Easier For Some Users

The CLI is fast, but it assumes you are comfortable typing commands. The app view is easier if you want to click through menus and visually compare models. It is also helpful when you are explaining the process to someone else, because the Settings and Models path is easier to follow on screen.

For non technical users, the app method is probably the best starting point. You do not need to remember /usage. You just need to know that model usage is stored under Settings, then Models.

For technical users, the CLI method will usually be faster. If you are already in a terminal session, typing one command is cleaner than switching windows.

Method	Best for	Main benefit
CLI /usage	Developers and terminal users	Fast usage check without leaving the command line
Windows app Settings	Visual users and app based workflows	Easy model comparison in a familiar interface

Both methods are worth knowing. If one is not convenient at the time, the other gives you another way to confirm what is happening with your quota.

How To Decide What To Do After Checking Quota

Checking quota is only the first step. The practical value comes from knowing what action to take after reading the numbers. If everything is available, you can continue as normal. If one model family is low or fully used, you can adjust your workflow.

Here are a few simple decisions you can make based on what you see:

• If your preferred model is at one hundred percent, continue using it.
• If your preferred model is nearly used up, save it for more important tasks.
• If Gemini is at zero percent but Claude is available, switch to Claude if suitable.
• If Claude Sonnet is available, use it for coding, writing, and analysis tasks.
• If all useful models are limited, wait for the reset time shown in Antigravity.

This approach keeps the process simple. You are not trying to game the system or overanalyse every prompt. You are just checking availability, choosing the best available model, and keeping your work moving.

If you use Antigravity often, this can become a normal habit. Start a session, check usage, choose model, then work. It is a small routine, but it can save frustration later when you are deep into a project and suddenly hit a limit.

Once you can see the quota screen, the next practical step is learning how to use that information before it interrupts your coding session. This is where Antigravity becomes easier to manage, because you are no longer guessing why a model stopped responding or why one option still works while another one does not.

Common quota problems and how to fix them

The most frustrating quota issue is not always the limit itself. It is the confusion around what has actually run out. You might be in the middle of debugging a project, ask Antigravity to explain a file, and suddenly see a quota warning. At first glance it can feel like the whole app has stopped working, but often the problem is more specific.

In many cases, only one model family has reached its current usage limit. This is why checking both the CLI and app views is helpful. The CLI gives you a quick status check, while the app gives you a visual way to compare different model options.

If you see one model sitting at 0 percent, do not assume everything is unavailable. Check the other model rows. You may still have capacity on another model that is good enough for the task you are doing.

Key insight: Quota problems are easier to solve when you think in model groups, not just one general Antigravity limit.

Problem: The model says quota is reached but another model still works

This is usually normal. Antigravity may track usage separately across model providers or model families. If Gemini has reached its limit, Claude or GPT may still have remaining quota, depending on your plan and what is available in your setup.

The solution is to switch models rather than restarting the whole app. Restarting Antigravity may refresh the interface, but it will not magically restore quota if the account limit has been reached.

• Open the model selection area in Antigravity.
• Check whether another model family still has available usage.
• Move lighter tasks to the available model.
• Save your preferred model for tasks where it matters most.

For example, if Gemini is at 0 percent but Claude Sonnet still shows available usage, you could continue with smaller coding questions, documentation help, or code explanation using Claude. If you need a very specific model for a bigger task, it may be better to wait until the quota refreshes.

Problem: The refresh time has passed but the model still shows no quota

This is where users can get caught out. A usage screen may show more than one type of limit. One limit might refresh sooner, while another limit may be weekly or based on a wider usage window. If the shorter limit refreshes but the weekly limit is still exhausted, the model can remain unavailable.

That means the refresh time should be read carefully. If there are multiple lines or multiple usage periods for the same model family, the most restrictive one is usually the one that matters at that moment.

A practical way to handle this is to write down the reset time the moment you hit the limit. Then compare it with what Antigravity displays later. This helps you work out whether you are waiting for a short usage window, a daily refresh, or a longer weekly reset.

It also helps to check the time zone. The reset time displayed by the app may not always match how you think about your local day. For users in Australia, this can matter if a reset is based on a provider schedule outside your region.

Problem: The app and CLI do not look exactly the same

The CLI and Windows app may present the same underlying idea in slightly different ways. The CLI is usually more direct. The app is easier to scan visually. If one view looks unclear, use the other view to confirm your understanding.

Situation	Best place to check	Why it helps
You are already working in terminal	CLI with /usage	Fastest way to check without changing windows
You want to compare models visually	Windows app Models screen	Shows model options in a more readable layout
You received a quota warning	Both CLI and app	Helps confirm whether only one model is affected
You are helping a less technical user	Windows app	Settings and model percentages are easier to explain

The important thing is not whether the screens look identical. The important thing is whether you can answer these questions quickly: which model is affected, when does it refresh, and what can I use instead?

A practical workflow for managing Antigravity quota

The best way to avoid quota surprises is to build a small routine around how you use Antigravity. It does not need to be complicated. Think of it like checking your camera battery before filming or checking storage before recording a long video. A quick check at the start can save a lot of frustration later.

Before starting a long coding session

If you are about to do a serious session, check quota first. This is especially useful when you are planning to ask Antigravity to scan a project, explain multiple files, rewrite sections, or help with debugging.

1. Open your terminal or the Antigravity app.
2. Run /usage if you are using the CLI.
3. Check the available percentage for your preferred model.
4. Look at the reset time if usage is low.
5. Choose the model that best matches the work ahead.

This only takes a moment, but it gives you a better idea of how to pace your requests. If your best model is almost out, you can avoid wasting it on small questions.

During the session

While working, try not to send huge prompts unless you need to. A large prompt that includes many files, logs, and instructions may consume more quota than a focused request.

A better pattern is to break the work into smaller stages. Ask Antigravity to inspect one issue, then ask a follow up question. This also makes the responses easier to review.

• Use a focused prompt rather than pasting an entire project.
• Ask for an explanation before asking for a rewrite.
• Give the model only the files or errors it needs.
• Use a cheaper or more available model for simple summaries.
• Save the strongest model for architecture, debugging, and important decisions.

This is not only about saving quota. It also improves the quality of the conversation because the model has a clearer task.

After hitting a limit

If Antigravity shows that quota is reached, take a moment before trying random fixes. Closing the app, reopening it, or signing in again may help if there is a display issue, but it will not restore real usage capacity.

Use this simple order of action:

1. Read the message carefully and note the reset date or time.
2. Check /usage in the CLI.
3. Open Settings and Models in the app to compare visually.
4. Switch to another available model if the task can continue.
5. Wait for the reset if the required model is fully used.

If the task is urgent, you might need to simplify the work. For example, instead of asking Antigravity to refactor a large feature, ask it to explain the error message or suggest a smaller fix that you can apply manually.

How to stretch your quota without hurting productivity

Quota management is not about using Antigravity less. It is about using it more deliberately. If you are building a business, editing content, testing software, or learning to code, a few small habits can make your available usage go further.

Use the right model for the right job

Not every task needs the strongest model available. Some prompts are simple and do not require heavy reasoning. If you use your best model for every tiny task, you may run out faster than needed.

Task type	Suggested approach	Why
Simple explanation	Use any available general model	The task is low risk and usually easy
Quick wording or documentation	Use a model with plenty of quota	Saves stronger models for technical work
Debugging complex code	Use your strongest available model	Better reasoning can save time
Large project review	Check quota first and split the work	Prevents burning through quota in one request
Repeated regeneration	Pause and refine the prompt	Better instructions reduce wasted attempts

This is the same mindset I use with other tools. The most powerful setting is not always the best default. Sometimes the simple option is the smarter option, especially when you are doing routine work.

Make prompts smaller and more specific

Broad prompts can be expensive because they ask the model to process more information. Instead of saying, “Review my whole app and fix everything”, try asking a tighter question.

For example, a better prompt might be:

Review this function and explain why it returns the wrong value when the cart is empty. Suggest the smallest safe fix.

This gives Antigravity a clear job. It also reduces back and forth because the answer is more likely to be useful the first time.

Here are a few prompt patterns that can help:

• Ask for diagnosis first: “What is likely causing this error?”
• Ask for a small fix: “Suggest the smallest change rather than rewriting the file.”
• Limit the scope: “Only review this component and ignore styling for now.”
• Use clear output: “Give me three possible causes and the best next step.”
• Avoid vague repeats: Instead of regenerating, explain what was wrong with the first answer.

When your prompt is focused, the model has less room to wander. That usually means better answers and less wasted quota.

Use the CLI for quick checks and the app for planning

A simple habit is to use the CLI while you are actively working and the app when you are planning your session. The CLI is fast when you are already inside a project folder. The app is better when you want to see the bigger picture.

For example, before a video recording or a client task, I would rather open the app and visually confirm the model status. During coding, I would use /usage because it is quick and does not break my flow.

Troubleshooting when quota information looks wrong

Sometimes the issue is not the quota itself, but how the information is displayed. If the screen looks stale, unclear, or inconsistent, there are a few simple checks you can do before assuming the system is broken.

Check that you are signed into the right account

This sounds basic, but it matters. If you have more than one account or you recently changed login details, the CLI and app may not be using the account you expected.

Check the account shown in the app. Then check your CLI login state. If you are signed into different accounts, the quota results may not match your expectations.

• Confirm the email address or account name in the app.
• Confirm your CLI session is connected to the same account.
• Sign out and sign back in if the account looks wrong.
• Run /usage again after logging in.

This is especially useful if you use a personal account on one machine and a work account on another.

Refresh the app view

If the app screen has been open for a while, the displayed usage may not be current. Navigate away from the Models section and return to it. If needed, close and reopen the app.

This does not reset quota, but it can refresh the display. If the CLI and app disagree, wait a short moment and check again. Usage systems can sometimes take a little time to update after heavy activity.

Check whether the limit is model specific

If one model fails, test another available model with a small prompt. Do not send a large request just to test availability. A simple question is enough.

For example:

Can you respond with one sentence confirming this model is available?

If the second model responds, then your Antigravity setup is still working. The problem is likely limited to the first model family or quota window.

Read the reset date carefully

Quota messages can include a reset time or date. Read it carefully before assuming it should already be restored. Depending on the display, it may refer to a different region, a provider reset schedule, or a longer quota period.

If you are in Australia, also consider the difference between your local date and the date used by the service. A reset that looks like tomorrow in one region might fall at a different time for you.

Real world examples of quota decisions

To make this more practical, here are a few simple examples of how I would think through quota usage in Antigravity.

Example one: You are debugging a website issue

You open Antigravity and check usage. Gemini is at 0 percent, Claude has some quota left, and GPT is also available. The website issue is urgent, but it is not a huge architecture problem.

In this case, I would switch to Claude or GPT and keep the prompt specific. I would paste the error message, the relevant file, and what I already tried. I would not ask it to review the whole website unless that becomes necessary.

A good prompt might be:

I am seeing this error when submitting the contact form. Review this function and suggest the most likely cause. Do not rewrite unrelated code.

This approach keeps the session moving even though your first choice model is unavailable.

Example two: You are planning a bigger feature

You want Antigravity to help design a new feature and review multiple files. Before starting, you check quota and see that your preferred model is low.

Instead of starting the whole feature review immediately, you could use a lighter model to prepare the task. Ask it to create a checklist, summarise file responsibilities, or help you write a clearer prompt. Then, when the stronger model refreshes, you can use it more efficiently.

This is a good way to keep working without wasting the last bit of premium quota on planning notes.

Example three: You are recording a tutorial

If you are creating content, quota surprises can break your flow. Before recording, check the app view and CLI. Make sure the model you plan to demonstrate has enough usage available.

If the quota is low, you can still record the setup, the explanation, and the navigation steps. Then record the model response after the quota refreshes. This keeps your content production moving even if the tool is not ready for the full demo.

That is one of the reasons I like checking usage early. It is not just a developer habit. It is also useful for anyone making videos, tutorials, or documentation around AI tools.

FAQ about Antigravity quota usage

Does 0 percent mean Antigravity is broken?

No. It usually means that the displayed model family has no remaining quota for the current usage window. Check other model options before assuming the whole app is unavailable.

Does closing and reopening Antigravity reset quota?

No. Reopening the app may refresh what you see on screen, but it does not reset account usage limits. Quota normally returns according to the reset schedule shown by Antigravity.

Why can I still use one model when another is out of quota?

Because usage may be tracked separately by model family or provider. One model can be exhausted while another still has capacity.

Should I always use the model with the most quota left?

Not always. Choose based on the task. If it is simple, use a model with plenty of available quota. If it is complex or important, use the strongest available model and give it a focused prompt.

Is the CLI better than the Windows app for checking usage?

The CLI is faster if you already work in terminal. The Windows app is easier if you prefer a visual view. For important tasks, checking both can give you extra confidence.

What should I do if all useful models are out of quota?

Save your work, note the reset time, and wait for the quota to return. If the work is urgent, reduce the task to something you can do manually or prepare prompts and files so you are ready when usage refreshes.

Simple checklist before your next Antigravity session

If you want a quick habit to follow, use this checklist before starting a bigger session in Antigravity.

• Run /usage in the CLI.
• Open Settings and Models in the Windows app if you want a visual check.
• Look at each model family separately.
• Check both percentage and reset time.
• Use lighter models for simple tasks.
• Save stronger models for debugging, architecture, and important writing.
• Keep prompts focused and avoid unnecessary full project scans.
• If quota is reached, switch models or wait for the displayed reset time.

Once this becomes part of your workflow, Antigravity feels much more predictable. You can plan around the quota instead of being surprised by it, and that makes it easier to stay productive whether you are coding, testing, writing, or creating content for your next project.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I check my quota usage in the Antigravity CLI?

  After logging into the Antigravity CLI, type /usage and press Enter. This will show your current quota usage, including model groups, remaining percentages and any refresh or reset times.

• Does reaching a quota limit mean Antigravity has stopped working completely?

  Not always. A quota limit may apply to one model family only, such as Gemini. Other models, such as Claude or GPT, may still be available depending on your plan and current usage.

• What does zero percent remaining mean?

  Zero percent remaining means the available quota for that specific model group has been used. You can either wait until the quota refreshes or switch to another available model if one is still active.

• Can I check quota usage in the Antigravity Windows app?

  Yes. You can check your quota through the Settings area in the Antigravity Windows app. This is useful if you prefer using the app interface rather than the CLI.

• Why should I check my quota before starting a long task?

  Checking your quota helps avoid interruptions during coding, debugging, content work or large AI-assisted tasks. If you know your remaining usage and reset times, you can plan better or choose the most suitable available model.
