Something changed with Antigravity

Something has changed with Antigravity since I first tried it out the other day. While looking at adding a related posts feature to BlogMore, I thought I'd give it another try out (having gone back to using Gemini CLI while I still could).

That first (and last) time I tried it, while on whatever model it decided for me out of the box, it chewed through most of the quota, with a 5 hour reset, in very little time at all. It was obvious that I'd never get anything of significance done in a good session.

This evening has been quite different. It wrote a very comprehensive change, doing quite a lot of work, and left me with a lot of quota and a short reset time once done.

A bit more testing and tweaking of the documentation followed, with me setting it off on a couple of bug hunts (which it found and fixed). By the time I was happy to call it an evening on this round of modifications, it had reset and I was green across the board again.

Now this I can work with!

I don't really know what's changed¹, or why. I think I saw something the other day about quotas being tripled, but this seems even more generous (at least in terms of the reset window). I guess I'm going to have to go digging to see if I can find what the story is.

I'm not getting my hopes up -- what can be given can be taken away at any moment (which is, of course, the ongoing theme of what I'm documenting here) -- but this does soften the landing somewhat.
