I tried running dozens of Gemini 3 Flash requests in parallel using the genai package, and the first few responses came back quickly in 6–8 seconds. After a while the calls just hang, sometimes taking over five minutes. Restarting the script fixes it temporarily, so I suspect hidden rate‑limit or throttling, but the tool’s behavior was frustrating and unreliable.

Thursday, April 2, 2026
I tried opening some of my older Gemini chats that are packed with content, and every time I type a new prompt the conversation just hangs on an infinite loading screen. New chats work fine, but the old ones are dead‑ended. On my phone the app even stops the spinner instead of showing any response, making the whole experience feel broken and irritating.
