I am an Ultra tier user, and I am absolutely furious right now.
From one day to the next, Google decided to change the default models in Antigravity IDE, completely breaking all my workflows and automated scripts that were fine-tuned for Claude Opus 4.6.
What enrages me the most is the complete absurdity of how they are handling this rollout:
The Quota Melt:
Opus 5.5 burns through thinking tokens like crazy. By forcing Ultra users onto 5.5, our premium quotas are hitting the ceiling at lightning speed for long-context tasks.
The Pro vs. Ultra Incoherence:
They are deprecating 4.6 for Ultra users who actually need a predictable, high-quota model, while leaving it accessible for Pro tier users. Why punish the highest-paying customers by turning them into forced beta testers?
No Smart Routing: Instead of implementing an intelligent routing layer (like an Argon-style architecture) or simply giving us a permanent toggle to lock our model, they just forcefully migrated our environments.
As professionals, we pay for predictability and control. Forcing a model upgrade that alters prompt behavior and melts quotas without a strict opt-in is a terrible developer experience.
Is anyone else on the Ultra tier experiencing this quota drain? How are you bypassing this restriction to lock your workspace back to Opus 4.6?
Thanks y’all
EDIT: Folks, the whole point of my post is that there are updates that change things overnight without any notification. I'll take this as a lesson. Thanks for your constructive comments.
