Understand credits and estimates

Understand credits and estimates. Follow the controls and check the result before continuing.

Before you start

Have a Google profile available in Flow Studio; complete Google sign-in if needed.
Plan the result and check the selected profiles and credit estimate before sending.

Read the selected settings
The estimate depends on model, resolution, duration and output count. Image models are listed at 0 credit in the verified model table; this is not a promise about every future Flow price or account plan.
Distinguish estimate from actual price
The composer shows an estimate such as ≈ 24 credit. Total estimate multiplies the per-output cost by the requested outputs and jobs.
The app checks the Flow creation price before clicking. Credit caps can block a job; an estimate is not a prepaid balance.
Check balances and recovery separately
A cached Flow balance is valid for six hours; unknown or stale balances are not verified available funds. Review the profile information in Hàng chờ.
Character synchronization and re-downloading an existing output do not create a paid generation. An uncertain retry may do so: inspect Flow first.

You can distinguish the estimate, cached balance and reported job charge before deciding to submit or retry.

Why does the balance show a question mark?

The app does not have a fresh usable Flow balance for that profile. Do not interpret it as zero or unlimited credit.

Can retry spend credits twice?

Yes, if the previous submission is uncertain and Flow already accepted it. Read the confirmation and inspect the source project first.
