Here's a news summary.
Google AI Studio now offers higher usage limits for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
Initially, AI Studio offered generous usage limits to everyone, but recently Google reduced the limits and began charging users for API usage. Recently, prepaid payment methods and spending limit features were added.

As an alternative to API billing, AI Pro (monthly $19.99) and Ultra (monthly $249.99) subscribers now receive higher usage limits for Gemini and Nano Banana models at no additional cost.
Additionally, limits for Antigravity, Jules, Gemini Code Assist, and Gemini CLI will also increase.
