Google AI Pro and Ultra Plans Get Gemini CLI and Code Assist with Higher Limits

The last time I tried Gemini, is when I was locked out of Claude due to the 5 hour window or whatever. Here's how that went:

Right away I noticed it's about 2-5x as slow. Maybe a good thing? It worked for a few tool uses and edits, then got itself stuck in a loop of adding and remove a function from the same file, before exhausting all of its credits and demanding I upgrade.

I already have the $20.00 a month package and there is nothing equivalent to Claude Max. And, why should I have to upgrade because it exhausted its own credits and couldn't complete the task?

>Note: If you are subscribed to Google AI Pro or Ultra, your quotas are equivalent to Gemini Code Assist Standard and Gemini Code Assist Enterprise, respectively.

That means 120 request/min and 1500 requests/day, vs the 60 and 1000 for free users.

Problem with the free plan is they cut you out of gemini 2.5 pro after a few request. So 1000 sound good, but most of it is with gemini flash 2.5.

If Gemini 3.0 is a good model, it could become a good offering.
