What does the status light mean?

Grey means nothing is running and browsing is free. Amber means a machine is waking up. Green means you are generating. You are only charged while it is amber or green.

Why is the first generation slower?

Hardware sleeps when idle so you are not paying for nothing. The first job after a quiet spell has to wake it, which takes a minute or two.

Why was my prompt refused?

Anything that reads as involving minors is refused outright and is not appealable. Uploaded images are checked the same way.

Why does a tool want an image?

Editing tools change an image you provide. To create something from a description alone, use the Image section.

What do the settings do?

Hover the ? beside any setting for a plain-English explanation.
