When my Claude allowance got cut

For a couple of months, I worked almost entirely in Antigravity. I could see all the code as it was being edited in real time alongside plans that I could comment on. The workflow felt like real collaboration. One of the things I liked most was that it supported both Gemini and Claude. I could switch mid-task depending on what I was doing — reach for one model where it was strong, then the other — without leaving my setup. It was a nice way to work. Then the Claude allowance in Antigravity got brought down to a level I couldn’t really use, even for ultra subscribers, and the easy switching was gone. That forced me to rethink my whole harness and how I worked. It turned out for the better: I leaned into Claude, and for what I was doing it held up better than I’d given it credit for. I still use Antigravity for the things Gemini is good at, but now I follow a ‘best of breed’ approach. So today I learned that the limit I didn’t ask for pushed me to a better setup than I’d have chosen on my own.
