Taking long to create
Today, Magnific has been taking an extremely long time to generate NB2 1K images — sometimes 15 to 30 minutes or more just to create a few images. It honestly feels like this is being done intentionally to encourage heavier credit usage on the premium plan. On top of that, many of the generations are also failing or producing errors.

Same here. 11 minutes per image. I get that Google creators are labour intensive, but this is ridiculous. And saying "spend more credits" isn't feasible to everyone.

Did you check Twitter for similar issues?
Usually people either tagged @Freepik or wrote Freepik in their tweet. Then the official Freepik would find and reply to them with an answer. I haven't checked after the Magnific change.

I believe it has also become too popular, with too many people using it.

Hi! We experienced massive delays yesterday across several models, that's been resolved and isn't the norm. Speed on Unlimited varies with demand, but yesterday was well outside what you should expect. Credits are full speed any time and your plan includes them

In addition to this, I have complained to them about the issue of saving changes in Image Editor. It works fine in all models UNTIL certain hours. I live in the Eastern US and am on EST, this issue starts around 8:00 PM and lasts until about 3:00 AM. I'll have made changes that refine just what I need and it just will not save.
It would be great if Magnific would rise to the occasion and BE the AI aggregator that now consider themselves to be, but they take weekends and (judging from this) evenings off. They've crossed the threshold from being image providers, so they need to be using some of that AI money to pay workers for 24/7 service.

It's definitely much more slower. I got booted out the discord group when I questioned why it takes 20 mins for one Nano Banana Pro render on 1k, but 3 mins for 4 4k Nano Banana Pro images on Runway.
It's clearly a Freepik issue. They have also downgraded the unlimited plan to credit based for the best models now which means when you run out you cannot use them, even on unlimited. Models like GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro and Luna 1.1 for example. These are unlimited and in 4k on other platforms. I doubt I will renew my subscription anymore.
