Meta adds rate limits and soft paywall to AI smart glasses

Meta announced new usage limits for its AI‑enabled smart glasses. The company will enforce rate caps on certain features to manage demand. A soft paywall will require users to subscribe for higher‑volume access. The changes apply to both consumer and enterprise versions of the device. Meta said the measures protect performance and help fund ongoing development. Early testers reported slower response times for premium features without a subscription. Industry analysts view the move as a shift toward monetizing wearable AI services. Meta plans to monitor usage data and adjust limits based on user feedback.
