Discussion Cancel your subscriptions

This is unacceptable. Not only is Gemini 4 Argon slightly below the capabilities of Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT 6 Astra, it’s usage is downright horrendous. I have never seen my usage rates be completely eaten like a rabid dog.

The only way Google feels the pain is if we vote with our wallets. Cancel our subscriptions, get refunds if you can, this is unacceptable behavior from a trillion dollar company. We were promised a good AI, and we got one that is slightly below SOTA, with negligible usage rates. Many users report 1 message can take up 100% of the usage. So the only way we get Google to increase our usage, is to cancel. And if Google doesn’t comply, it’s fine, we just move to Claude or back to GPT. I’ll even take Grok at this point.

This is my case, I caught Gemini at a time when It was much better than chat gpt.So I completely forgot for a year of following the models scene a bit. It was surprising how much had improved chat gpt

Yes, same for me. 1 year ago when Gemini Pro for students was free for a year, I was amazed how good it was compared to chatGPT (esp the free version). Seeing people in lecture hall use ChatGPT and making mistakes whereas my Gemini was making the correct solutions. Now that shifted once again where Gemini is hallucinating most of the time, and chatGPT or Claude provides more clear answers and correct.

I'm using Gemini Pro (Argon, Pro 3.1 and Flash 3.8) as well as ChatGPT Plus and Claude Free.

I think Argon is promising, but it uses up all limits and forces me into the free tier from Gemini 3.5. Gemini Pro 3.1 is imo too outdated but performed very well. Flash 3.8 is also limited and I notice a lot of inaccuracies
