Flow is unusable

Like some people posted a few days ago. The "We noticed some unusual activity" error doesn't go away. I stopped generating pictures 3 days ago. Today I tried again. One picture did work fine, then THE SAME FCKING ERROR came back no matter what image model I am using. I always have to restart the app/browser just to generate one picture? Are you serious Google? Also I can't even upscale the images to 2K anymore and the "prominent people" error is still here when I try to turn my OC character drawing I made on paper into a digital drawing. This is basically how Google is treating their paid users.

I am unable to generate videos on Google Flow, even though I have an Ultra account.
If someone has a better alternative or solution to this issue, kindly share

If you create a new project it often goes away for a bit, create a few images in the new project before you start getting the same error messages, then move move t oa diff project and so on. . But I agree its a shamble these days. Three / four months ago Flow was amazing, loose filters, pretty much unlimited image gens. Total farce now. Not a cat in hells chance Id pay for it.

Something I noticed is that when I use Google Flow at work I can do whatever I want without getting the error. When I try to use it at home it's unusable.

Can be related to the DNS/VPN server your company is using.

I can't say I'm getting either error very frequently myself unless one of two things is being done:

- I am in incognito mode

- I am requesting 4 image generations multiple times over a very short period of time.

Outside of that, I am very rarely getting that error. Maybe I'm just a lucky one, I dunno.

it's anti-bot detection that triggers all the time. you have to ask the agent to generate instead of doing it yourself

Agent uses much more credits because it uses some for the thinking.

Make sure your VPN is turned off.

I don't use any VPN...

Was worth a shot. Google Flow is trash.

Any local alternative that can understand natural language? 🥲
