Am I charged for failed or blocked generations?
Updated September 24, 2026
No. Credits are charged only when a generation succeeds. If a generation fails, times out, or is blocked before it starts, you pay nothing and the credits held for it are released.
- While a job runs, its cost is held from your balance, so your available credits look lower until it finishes.
- When a request makes several images, you’re charged for the images actually delivered.
- Some BudgetPixel Studio tools charge when you start a job and return the fee as credits if the job fails.
