How are generations counted?
One generation makes one finished image. It counts when it starts (or joins a queue). Failed or cancelled-while-queued generations are given back; re-downloading is free.
A generation is one run that produces one finished image. Your plan gives you a number of them each month; the sidebar shows how many are left.
| What happens | Does it use a generation? |
|---|---|
| You press Generate | Yes, one, when it starts |
| An image joins a queue in a batch or photoshoot | Yes, when it's queued |
| The generation fails or gets stuck | No, it's given back automatically |
| You cancel a queued image before it runs | No, it's given back |
| You download a finished image again | No, downloads are always free |
| You make a new version of an image | Yes, each version is a new generation |
| Scene attempts in My custom scenes | No, attempts on the sample product are free |
Unused generations don't roll over: they reset at the start of your plan's next month, on yearly billing too.
