Google's Gemini Help Page Still Lists Pro on the Free Plan

Google's Gemini Apps help page on usage limits, answer 16275805, is the page that states which Gemini 3 models a personal account can open. The model-access table marks Yes for Gemini 3 Flash-Lite, Gemini 3 Flash, and Gemini 3 Pro on every listed plan, including the row "Without an AI Plan." The page warns that model names, versions, and availability may change. It does not, on the copy opened for this article, say that the free row has been cut back to Flash-Lite only.

Limits and context are separate from that yes-or-no table. Without an AI plan the page lists standard usage limits and a 32,000-token context window. AI Plus is 2 times the standard limit and 128,000 tokens. AI Pro is 4 times the standard limit. AI Pro and AI Ultra share a 1 million token window. AI Ultra is 5 times or 20 times the AI Pro limit, depending on the subscription. A tip says more advanced models and higher thinking levels consume more of the allowance.

What the page says after the limit is hit

If a Google AI subscription reaches its limit, the page says the conversation can continue on Flash-Lite. Five-hour and weekly limits can be raised by upgrading, or the user can wait for a refresh. The page also says limits may change without notice, and that users without a plan may be capped before subscribers when capacity is tight. Deep Research is listed among features that can be unavailable for those users during high demand.
