Google Restores Gemini CLI Access After Antigravity Bans

Google and the Gemini CLI team have resolved a wave of account disruptions affecting users over the past week. The issues stemmed from Antigravity bans targeting violations of terms of service, specifically the use of third-party tools or proxies to access Antigravity resources.

Because abuse prevention occurs at the backend layer, these bans inadvertently blocked access to both Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist. The team acknowledges the disruption and is implementing a system-wide automated unban to restore service to affected accounts within one to two days. This reset aims to clear the backlog while transitioning to a more transparent compliance process.

users flagged for violations will receive specific email notifications and error messages directing them to a dedicated Google Form. The new process requires users to review terms of service and formally recertify their intent to comply, with automatic reinstatement typically within a day. A second violation will result in permanent banning. The team emphasizes that using third-party software to harvest or piggyback on Gemini CLI's OAuth authentication violates applicable terms and policies.
