Gboard Rambler has a usage limit, and here’s what happens when you reach it (Update)

Credit: Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google has confirmed what happens when you reach Rambler’s usage limits. The company says Rambler will switch to offline mode, which still offers basic voice transcription and cleanup. Rambler otherwise offers advanced voice dictation smarts, such as rewriting in a specific style.

Update: August 19, 2026 (1:18 AM ET): A Google representative has clarified Rambler’s offline capabilities in an emailed response to Android Authority : When offline, Rambler does still remove filler words from dictation, in addition to adding punctuation and capitalization. Primarily what requires connectivity is more complex commands — like rewriting in a particular style or, for example, asking to make a block of text shorter.
