Overview
- Google replaced Gemini 3 Pro’s five free prompts with variable “Basic access,” noting daily limits for non‑subscribers may change frequently.
- Free Nano Banana Pro image creation is capped at two per day, and NotebookLM temporarily removed Infographics and Slide Decks for free users while adding limits for Pro accounts.
- OpenAI set a six‑video daily cap for free Sora users, with Sora lead Bill Peebles citing GPU strain and noting paid users keep existing quotas and can buy extra generations.
- Google says paid tiers are unchanged, with AI Pro and AI Ultra still allowing 100 and 500 prompts per day, respectively.
- The policy shifts follow a holiday usage spike and viral, hyper‑realistic Nano Banana Pro images on social platforms that have heightened misinformation concerns.
