Google is now emailing Gemini subscribers about a change that will cost them 4x more

TL;DR Google is now emailing AI Plus subscribers to confirm that access to Pro models in the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search will be restricted to Google AI Pro subscribers and above from November 13, 2026. AI Plus subscribers will retain access to Google’s Flash and Flash Lite models, but existing chats using Pro models will need to continue with a different model. The email follows Google’s earlier announcement of restrictions on lower-priced subscription tiers.
