What happened?

Hi Im an Ultra subscription user, and got my subscription very recently, I was triggering messages in parallel using gemini -m {model} -p {message}, but I don't think this isn't allowed at all based on what I understood from the rules and TOS.

I don't use antigravity, don't use cron jobs and don't use gemini via third-party tool.

I searched discussion/issues and haven't found any comments from google team over this issue. Can I have a cleared up on whats happening and what I can do to solve this?

Run gemini to enter the interactive CLI, then run the /about command.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The user may need to adjust their usage of the gemini command to avoid triggering messages in parallel, as this might be against the rules and TOS.

Guidance

  • Review the rules and TOS to understand the specific limitations on using the gemini command.
  • Consider triggering messages sequentially instead of in parallel to avoid potential issues.
  • Check if there are any official guidelines or documentation on using the gemini command with an Ultra subscription.
  • Verify if the issue persists when triggering messages one by one, to determine if parallel triggering is the cause.

Notes

The issue lacks specific error messages or logs, making it difficult to provide a more detailed solution. The user's understanding of the rules and TOS may also be incomplete or incorrect.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Trigger messages sequentially to avoid potential issues, as the user's current method may be against the rules and TOS.
