Meta quietly announced a 3-hour monthly free cap on its smart glasses' Conversation Focus feature. Exceeding that requires a $19.99/month Meta One Premium subscription. This introduces a soft paywall for existing hardware users. For developers and early adopters relying on extended AI conversations—e.g., for meeting notes, real-time translation, or long voice interactions—this limit disrupts usage. Apps designed for prolonged sessions may hit the cap, forcing developers to incorporate the subscription cost or redesign user experiences.
