- The overall usage limit factors in prompt complexity, chat length, number of sources, and the features used, rather than a flat quota.
- Limits refresh every five hours instead of daily, allowing continued use throughout the day.
- The notebook tracks usage and suggests alternative outputs if a chosen output would surpass the limit.
- Users who reach their limit can defer compute-heavy outputs like Video Overviews or Slide Decks; these generate automatically later, with optional notifications when ready.
- The updates begin rolling out to consumer accounts on web and mobile starting September 2.
