I’m currently building a site using the Firebase Studio AI tool (the one powered by Gemini), and I’ve been running into a frustrating issue. About every 30–45 minutes, the AI seems to freeze — it stops generating any more responses, and nothing loads until I manually restart the VM. I often need to do this multiple times per session just to keep working.
I’ve already switched over to the Blaze plan hoping that would improve performance or provide a more stable environment, but the issue still persists.
Is anyone else experiencing this? And more importantly — is there anything I can do to make the experience more reliable or dedicated so I’m not constantly getting interrupted? Whether it’s a config setting, billing tier, or some usage best practices — I’m open to any ideas.
According to Joe Clinton another useful prompt is “Compress chat”... “Which lets gemini go through and intelligently pick out what code lines it needs to remember and which parts it needs to summarize. Then your chat becomes 10x smaller, but you don’t lose useful context.”
this has helped me, after deleting the full context, but still retaining the project overview by doing some small prompt engineering. I have no slowdown now.
My Gemini AI stopped working and just keeps saying “hit a snag” . Reading thru this I noticed I can clean the chat and that can help. How do I do this?
I have to keep Restart my project after a couple of the Prototyper’s prompts because it keeps freezing or forever trying to connect. Getting unworkable.
Sam issue it hangs up as there is no option in prototype window to delete the history i do not work. After Few Weeks or month it reset and once the history gets deleted it works properly. But Due to this its impossible to complete any project in one go as in end your history is long enough and than it becomes difficult towork and complete any project
