What did you expect to happen?

I am a paying Google AI Ultra subscriber, yet I consistently receive the error: “Our servers are experiencing high traffic right now, please try again in a minute.”

This happens despite very light usage on my side. I am nowhere near heavy usage, but the service still frequently becomes unavailable. For a premium Ultra subscription, this is extremely frustrating and does not match the expected level of access or reliability.

Please investigate whether AI Ultra users are being properly prioritized in Antigravity, and whether there is a backend capacity or routing issue affecting paid subscribers.

TL;DR

Investigate potential backend capacity or routing issues affecting paid subscribers, specifically prioritization in Antigravity for AI Ultra users.

Guidance

  • Verify if other AI Ultra subscribers are experiencing similar issues to determine if it's an isolated problem or a broader issue.
  • Check the service's status page or official communication channels for any reported outages or maintenance that might be causing the high traffic error.
  • Test the service during different times of the day to see if the issue persists, which could indicate a capacity or routing problem.
  • Consider providing the exported chat history JSON file as requested to help the developers investigate the issue further.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the service's backend infrastructure, and without more technical details, it's difficult to provide a specific fix. The guidance provided is aimed at helping to isolate the problem and gather more information.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: While waiting for the investigation, try accessing the service during off-peak hours to see if the issue persists, which might help mitigate the problem temporarily.
