"Too many requests" when generating images

We have fair usage limits on image generation. They exist to keep generation fast and reliable for everyone and to prevent abuse of the service.

The vast majority of users never come close to them. If you're seeing this message, it usually means a large number of images were generated on the account within the last 24 hours — often in an earlier session rather than the one you're in now.

Your capacity restores automatically. Wait, and generation becomes available again — you don't need to do anything.

If you get this message and you haven't been generating heavily, tell us and we'll look into it:

• Roughly how many images you've generated recently
• Whether you're using a VPN
• Whether it cleared on its own, or is still happening
