Google Antigravity Not Working? Complete Troubleshooting Guide
Google’s Antigravity, the new agentic IDE powered by Gemini 3, launched to massive demand. Unfortunately, that means many users are hitting errors, timeouts, and infinite loading screens. You’re not alone. Early adopters report widespread issues from “model provider overload” to accounts getting stuck in setup limbo.

Common Errors and Fixes

Error Cause Fix
“Agent terminated due to error” Model provider overload Wait 5-15 mins, try off-peak hours
“Setting up your account” infinite loop Server overload / Workspace account Use personal Gmail, not Workspace
“Account not eligible” Unsupported region Change Google account region
HTTP 429 errors Too many requests Wait 2-4 hours, try again
Agent errors out after 60 seconds Task timeout / overload Type “continue” to resume

Step-by-Step Fixes

Fix 1: Login Issues (Most Common)

According to a Google Developer Advocate on Stack Overflow:

  1. Use a personal Gmail account — not Google Workspace
  2. Sign out of Antigravity completely
  3. Close the app (Cmd+Q on Mac, File → Exit on Windows)
  4. Wait 30 seconds, then relaunch
  5. Log in with your personal Gmail

Fix 2: Region Eligibility Error

If you see “account not eligible for your location”:

  1. Visit Google’s region change form
  2. Select a supported region (US, UK, EU, Japan, etc.)
  3. Submit and wait 4-24 hours for approval
  4. Log in again after confirmation email

Fix 3: Agent Timeouts and Errors

For the “errors out after 60 seconds” issue:

  • Just type “continue”—this often resumes stuck tasks
  • Switch to a lighter model: Click model selector → choose “Gemini 3 Pro (Standard)” instead of High
  • Try off-peak hours (early morning or late evening)
  • Clear cache: rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Antigravity/Cache

System Requirements Check

  • RAM: Minimum 4GB (8GB recommended)
  • Disk: At least 2GB free storage
  • CPU: If at 100%, wait for background processes
As Simon Willison noted, give it time to work through “initial launch jitters.” The agent-first architecture is genuinely innovative — but Google’s infrastructure is buckling under demand. Most issues resolve by using a personal Gmail account and waiting for off-peak hours.
