You just have to cut the cord.
The Gemini subscription has become a total waste because the new compute-based usage limits make it effectively broken for any real work. Google is trying to pass off their new models as an upgrade, but it's just an aggressive throttle designed to dump you onto a watered-down, inferior engine the second you hit an arbitrary ceiling. You are stuck with a service that actively fights you, which completely nukes the only reason to stay: the high-ceiling reasoning and massive context that used to actually work. Now, you’re just paying for a constrained, frustrating demo.
When you look at the industry, it is embarrassing how far Google has fallen. Anthropic has clearly taken the lead with the Claude 4 ecosystem—specifically the Opus 4.7 flagship released last month—which is light-years ahead in agentic reliability and complex, long-form work. OpenAI’s infrastructure is far more stable and predictable than the mess Google has created, and even services like Perplexity are doing a better job by acting as a smart aggregator that routes your queries to the best models instead of locking you into a proprietary bottleneck. Google was only competitive because their top-tier models were actually capable of doing the work, but by turning that into a throttled, restricted mess, they have set themselves well below the industry standard. Cancel, save yourself the frustration, and go where the tools actually function instead of sticking with a service that treats its own users like a liability.
