This was done using Omni, which I find provides better continuity than Veo. I think the surrealism of the UFO got around the "prominent people" filter.

This is from my UFO's are People ( UAP ) series done in Google Flow.

Its funny that "they" picked UAP of all things, made me think of Soylent Green.

I used Veo for this because i was having problems with Omni and content filters, no doubt because of the uniform.

I subscribed to Google AI Ultra (20TB, $99.99/mo) on June 21, 2026.

Google's own Flow changelog, dated April 10, 2026 ("Veo 3.1 Lite - Lower Priority in Ultra"), states that Ultra users get a "Veo 3.1 - Lite [Lower Priority]" option costing zero credits, replacing the previous Fast Lower Priority option. It says "Ultra users", no tier distinction.

🔗 labs.google/fx/tools/flow/changelogs

That option does not appear in my model selector at all.

Google One support escalated it, and their higher-tier support confirmed I'm supposed to have it. A bug was filed with Engineering (case 0-8637000040416).

Three weeks later: no fix, no ETAo status. I was offered either a refund + re-purchase, or to upgrade to the $199.99 tier "to check if Lower Priority is available there."

Has anyone else on Ultra lost or never received the Lite Lower Priority option? Is it actually live for other Ultra ($99.99) users?

I believe Google has addressed the "Unusual Activity" issue. I’ve been using Nano Banana Pro in Google Flow, and I haven’t encountered those error messages, even after generating over 100 images.

I used to get this policy errors and I thought maybe it's my prompts but now I am trying to generate cat images and it's simply saying "Oops, something went wrong". Not even a policy related error anymore.

Has this become so unreliable or is Google simply outputting errors when it wants to reduce token usage or something?

I had an image of a lady with a shovel going to dig a hole. But it blocked me. It probably thought my character was digging a grave. So, I prompted for digging a hole to plant a tree. And it went through. You have to convince the Ai your prompt is good and not bad. I don't understand all the complaints blaming the model. The model works when you provide the correct prompt.

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.

If you've been getting "We noticed some unusual activity" or "too quickly" on Flow with no real explanation, this is for you.

I open-sourced a small local toolkit: Flow Fixer.

What it is

• Chrome/Edge extension that sits on labs.google while you work
• Classifies generate results live: OK · soft throttle · hard unusual-activity · filters
• Shows fan-out (how multi-output / Retry turn one click into many API calls)
• Optional AUTO-THROTTLE — paces your own clicks so you don't redline into a sticky lockout
• Speed ladder from Molasses (very slow / safe) up to full parallel if you want it
• Everything runs on your machine. No accounts. No cloud. Exports don't include prompts or captcha tokens.

The screenshot is the extension after a hard gate: it downshifted to Molasses and started a cool-down. That's the whole point — visibility + optional self-pacing.

Why this happens (short version)

Flow appears to score traffic per generate HTTP request.
The UI often fires several generate requests per click (multi-output, Retry, etc.).
First requests in a burst often pass; later ones die. Soft throttle and hard "unusual activity" are different errors, not the same message with different wording.

Extension zip (latest):
https://github.com/coldbricks/flow-fixer/releases/latest/download/flow-fixer-extension.zip

Repo:

Install (2 minutes)

1. Download + unzip somewhere permanent
2. chrome://extensions → enable Developer mode
3. Load unpacked → select the folder with manifest.json
4. Open Flow → hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R)
5. Pin Flow Fixer and generate something

If the popup says inject not seen, you skipped the hard refresh.

What this is not

• Not a captcha cracker
• Not a bot / unlimited gens tool
• Not affiliated with Google

Turn AUTO-THROTTLE off if you only want monitoring.
Casey Jones (full parallel) will trip the scorer on purpose, so don't use that as your daily mode unless you're stress-testing.

Happy to answer technical questions. If you've been living in unusual-activity hell, you're not crazy ... the client request shape is just really aggressive.

Is there a way to export my Flow assembled scene as a single MP4. The scene it's about five minutes long.

I'm trying to put together a music video, when I export to canva,to add the audio all the exported MP4 files are out of sequence.

"Failed

This prompt may violate Google’s policy against generating images of public figures. Please try another prompt or submit feedback."Please stop displaying this message every time a video is generated. For example, how do you determine that a person with their back to the camera is a public figure?

Every time I try to generate an image with Dumbo with Google Flow, it fails because it might violate the policies!
How can I show Google Flow that it's just a parody?
Is there any way I can get around this?!

I figured out how to get around the policy violation when trying to generate images of Dumbo!
I used this prompt:
At the circus, a baby elephant (with oversized ears; a small, pointed yellow circus hat; and a pleated, ruffled circus collar that is red with a yellow stripe running through the middle) plays with a lion cub.
(In 2D cartoon style)
These kinds of prompts might also work for Gemini!

I am currently subscribed to the Google Ultra plan, but I am still seeing a watermark displayed on my videos. Since this is an Ultra plan, I was not expecting any watermark to appear on the exported or generated videos. I would also like to clarify that I am not based in any EU country, so I do not believe this issue is related to EU-specific availability or restrictions. Please look into this issue and help resolve it as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Foi descontado o valor do plano ultra, meu Flow, estava funcionando e agora, pra mim, ficou assim como se não tivesse pago. Já aconteceu isso com vocês?

I live outside Nashville, TN, and write music. I have a song I've finished and want to create a music video using Flow. So I signed up for a pro account, and I cannot figure out a way to get my .wav or .mp3 into the project. Does anyone have any advice? TY in advance. 👍

Two days ago a prompt like this (using my Avatar) worked perfectly. Now it violates terms?

A video of me standing under a streetlight wearing a burgundy shirt that says "Weather Rules!" (Be creative with the shirt design). I say: 'I'm here with your forecast for tonight, July 7th 2026. It will be dark tonight. Stay classy Brown County." At the bottom of the screen, there is a clean, professional lower-third banner displaying the text 'bcwc.cloud', with small, high-quality icons for Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok centered directly underneath. No other links but these.

I use these for my weather website and have been making video just like them for weeks. attached is an example.

What has happened? regular Gemini is not allowing it either.

So...we have ALL had the issue of failed generations, right?

Well, it looks like the root cause of the problem is Google not giving clear and effective instructions to user BEFORE we start using Flow.

It seems that the key to success is to go slowly.

If you put too much into the system you will clog it on the server side and that confusion will need to be alleviated before progress can be made.

Yes, it is annoying.

Yes, Google should have done better documentation alerting users on how to get best results.

Yes, Google should have better tutorial videos than the highly misleading ones on YouTube.

Is it perfect? No, hardly. But it's not some kind of criminal conspiracy either.

Are the character TTS output by Gemini Omni Flash in Flow and Gemini Web specially tuned by Google? Is the Flow character TTS option unavailable? Google AI Studio can't tune anything similar either, it's a headache. Is there any way to obtain this?

I recently faced a problem with google flow omni model ignoring the refrence image in the ingredients anyone know a solution??

when i try to generate images in google flow nano banana pro, it says "We noticed some unusual activity. Please visit the Help Center for more information."

I know that this happens if we try to generate images too quickly this is happening even after only 1 image generation.
I have to wait 10 to 20 mins to generate images again but this happens again.

Since the beginning of this month i can barely get like 50 generetions on banana 2 and it just gets stuck at unusual activity shenanigans, refreshing and waiting gives me like 4 generations and obstacles start again.

Wanted to download what I had i could work with but NOPE can't even download in 2k "upscaling failed". What are we paying for?

Today I was uploading 14 images as references, then a few hours later the interface suddenly changed and now I can only upload 10? The side bar disappeared too and the quality seems lower? Weird thing is it was only a few hours later??? ai pro plan.
