Generation failed: what to do
Troubleshooting & FAQ1 min read
Sometimes a generation ends with an error — that's normal, models get overloaded. The key thing: credits for a failed generation are refunded automatically.
What happens to the credits
The amount is reserved at launch and only captured for a successful result. If you see the "failed" state, the reserve is already back on your balance. You can verify it in the history on the Billing page.
Common causes
- Model overload. Just retry in a minute or two.
- Content filter. The model refused the prompt: remove references to real people, brands, or violence.
- A problematic reference. The file is too large or unreadable — try another image.
- Settings out of range. The duration or resolution isn't supported by the model — the editor will show valid values.
If the error keeps happening
- Try another model for the same task — the catalog is large.
- Simplify the prompt to one phrase and add details gradually.
- Still stuck — post in the community and we'll figure it out together.
