Image regeneration
Regenerating an AI-generated article image uses 2 credits. Pinsearch may ask you to save the article before regenerating an image. This helps keep the editor and image version in sync.Failed or incomplete generations
If the request fails because of invalid input, missing access, or not enough credits, Pinsearch does not charge credits. If credits are deducted and the full generation fails, Pinsearch tries to refund the credits automatically. If an article is created but some items or images could not be completed, Pinsearch may create a partial article and refund the failed items.If you see a refund warning or think credits were charged incorrectly, contact support with the article topic and the time the issue happened.
