Generation runs in the background while the typing dots animate. Typical times: Write with AI and title suggestions a few seconds; recipe or meal generation up to 1–2 minutes (Please allow 1-2 minutes … you will need to click the button again to confirm means the result appears in the same modal and you then click Apply/Save); a blog article 1–2 minutes, longer when it includes generated images (each image is a separate call); a meal image 30–60 seconds; a receipt scan 10–20 seconds; saving generated meals with images can take several minutes. Text calls time out after about 5 minutes and image calls after 2. Do not refresh the page mid-generation – the credit is spent when the call succeeds even if you navigate away. If nothing appears after the timeout, try again with a smaller request (fewer meals, fewer images).
