If a generation fails, the message tells you what's happening.
"We're experiencing high demand"
The AI service is temporarily throttled. Wait a minute or two and retry. This isn't personal — it affects all users briefly.
"Daily limit reached"
You've used your allowance for today.
Free: 3 generations per day
Plus: 20 generations per day
New account (first 24 hours): unlimited
The limit resets daily at local midnight. See Daily limit reset at a weird time for timing details.
Options when you hit the limit
Wait until midnight. The counter resets.
Upgrade to Plus for 20/day. See Free vs. Plus.
Edit an existing routine instead of generating a new one — edits are not counted as new generations.
Failed generations don't count against your limit
If a generation errors out (moderation block, server error), it does not consume a daily slot. Only successfully completed generations count.
"Your request couldn't be processed due to content guidelines"
This is different — see "Content guidelines" error on a prompt.
