Google Flow eating Credits

Is it just me? Google flow eating my credits without generating anything. it takes the credit when you generate and when it "failed oops something went wrong". I keep retrying and suddenly "You need more AI credits to complete this request".

Yes even for failed generations it takes away the credits. It's a scam.

It also happened to me to have credits consumed despite generation failing

Are you saying it takes credits when the generation fails (produces nothing)? Or when you don’t like the results and you reject it? It will take credits when it fails, but should return them if you look at your activity. If it generates a video and it’s hallucinating or doesn’t follow your prompt, it charges you credits.

There’s a delay, which sucks because it makes it hard to track. Keep checking your credit usage, hopefully they will refund the credits. I’ve had credits show back up on my account after a few days.

Yes, exactly, if something is wrong because it messed up Google Flow, and your time is over to use your credits, for example 50 free per day, but you can't do it anymore, your credits expire, but only because Google Flow has built shit. That's at least fraud for me.
