Limit Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are Gemini App limits?

   • Gemini Apps has usage limits designed to ensure an optimal experience for everyone. This means there may at times be a cap on the number of prompts and conversations you can have within a specific timeframe. Your capacity replenishes regularly, so you can get back to chatting with Gemini Apps as this replenishment occurs.

   • The number of prompts you can use before hitting the limit varies and depends on factors like how long and complex your prompts are, the size and number of files you upload, and the length of your conversations with Gemini Apps.

   • Gemini Apps will notify you in the app when you are close to reaching your chat capacity for a given period.

2. How do model limits work?

   • Gemini Apps has more prompt and chat limits for more advanced models. If you reach your capacity limit for a specific model for a given period, you can switch to a different model until that limit is reached or wait until your capacity limit is refreshed.

3. What can I do when I reach my limit for a Gemini feature?

   • When you reach your limit you will need to wait until your limit refreshes. Gemini will tell you when you can begin using the feature again.

4. How can I tell if I’m close to a Gemini limit or when the limit is supposed to refresh?

   • Gemini Apps will notify you when you're close to your limit. When you reach your limit, Gemini Apps gives you another notification that tells you when your limit will refresh.

5. Are there any limits to Gemini Deep Research?

   • Yes, there are daily limits for how many research reports you can generate.

6. What is a context widow?

   • When you upload files to Gemini Apps, it needs to "read" the content to provide useful insights or answers. The context window is like the reading capacity. It determines how much content can be understood together at one time.

   • If you exceed the context window, this could lead to responses that don’t take into account all the content provided or miss connections or details throughout the content. This is most relevant for prompts that require attention to many details scattered throughout large files.
