Hi, I’ve been experiencing an issue with image generation since around 5:30 PM yesterday. Every time I try to generate an image, I receive a rate limit warning—even though I haven’t had any successful image generations during this period.

I’ve waited hours between attempts (usually about 2 hours between the attempts with one about 8 hours), but I still get hit with the cooldown message after a single try, even when the previous generation attempt didn’t go through. I’m not abusing the tool or sending inappropriate prompts—I'm just trying to complete a creative project with casual, safe artwork.

Can someone please look into why the rate limit is being applied so aggressively? I’ve essentially been locked out for an entire day without any successful images and would appreciate any help or clarification.

Thanks so much!
