High demand for Gemini 3 Pro forces Google to restrict usage on lighter model.
Google has limited Nano Banana Pro to just two free daily images due to overwhelming demand generated by Gemini 3 Pro.
Google is imposing daily restrictions on Nano Banana Pro, now allowing only two free images per user each day. The change comes as Gemini 3 Pro, Google’s flagship generative model, continues to absorb massive usage across platforms.
Engineers say demand has outpaced infrastructure expectations, particularly among free-tier users who rely on Nano Banana Pro for quick edits and low-latency generation.
The company says the limit ensures stability across the ecosystem while prioritizing power users and enterprise clients leveraging Gemini 3 Pro’s larger multimodal capabilities.
Analysts note that this shift reflects a broader trend of AI providers tightening free access as operating costs rise and premium tiers gain priority.
