Thinking model gets its own, higher daily limit

AI Pro now gets 300 Thinking prompts a day and Ultra 1,500, on top of the Pro model's 100 and 500

What changed

AI Pro: Thinking and Pro models
Was Before: “Up to 100 prompts / day” (one shared limit)
After: Thinking “Up to 300 prompts / day”; Pro “Up to 100 prompts / day”
AI Ultra: Thinking and Pro models
Was Before: “Up to 500 prompts / day” (one shared limit)
After: Thinking “Up to 1500 prompts / day”; Pro “Up to 500 prompts / day”

What this means for you

AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can use the Thinking model three times as much each day, and doing so no longer uses up their Pro model allowance.

Evidence

Google's Gemini Apps limits page listed one shared 'Thinking & Pro' limit on January 3, 2026: 'Up to 100 prompts / day' for Google AI Pro and 'Up to 500 prompts / day' for Google AI Ultra. By January 15, 2026 Thinking had its own row: 'Up to 300 prompts / day' (AI Pro) and 'Up to 1500 prompts / day' (AI Ultra), with Pro unchanged at 100 and 500. 9to5Google reported the change on January 14, 2026, quoting Google: 'Previously, usage of our reasoning models pulled from a shared pool.' Free users stayed at 'Basic access'.
