Answers
Can I get my unused balance refunded?
Short answer
Yes. You can request a refund of the unused part of your balance at any time while the account is active — there is no deadline, and the balance itself never expires. We return what you topped up and have not spent, minus promotional bonus credits. Generations that fail or are blocked by the safety classifier are refunded to your balance automatically, with no request needed.

Unused balance
Write to support from the address on your account and ask for the unspent part back. There is no window to catch: the rule used to be 14 days from payment, which sat badly next to a balance that never expires, so the deadline was removed entirely in September 2026.
What comes back is what you paid in and have not consumed. Bonus credits granted by a promo code or a volume tier are promotional, not money you deposited, so they are excluded from the calculation — as is anything already spent on completed generations, where the compute has been paid for on our side.
Failed generations
These need no ticket at all. A generation that fails, times out, or is rejected by the provider's safety classifier returns its charge to your balance by itself, usually within seconds of the failure being recorded. Partially delivered video — some variants produced, others filtered — is refunded proportionally.
That is the reason an outage never costs you money even though there is no SLA: you are not billed for work that did not arrive.
How a refund is paid
Refunds go back through the original payment route. For a crypto deposit that is a stablecoin transfer to the address the deposit came from; on-chain transfers cannot be reversed once broadcast, which is exactly why the minimum top-up is small and the balance has no expiry — there is no reason to hold a large float here. For a card, PayPal or SEPA deposit the money goes back through PayPal.
If a payment went wrong, contact support before attempting anything else. Most billing problems are resolved faster than a dispute, and an account whose balance came from a reversed payment can be suspended until the matter is settled.

Where this is documented
More on this question
Does my balance expire if I stop using the account?
No. It stays until you spend it or ask for it back.
How small can a top-up be?
Crypto minimums start around $1 depending on the coin and network; card, PayPal and SEPA top-ups start at $20. Topping up in small amounts is the sensible way to use the service.
Are bonus credits refundable?
No. Volume bonuses and promo-code credits are promotional and are excluded from a cash refund, though they spend exactly like the rest of the balance.
What if a generation half-worked?
You are charged for what was delivered. Blocked or failed variants inside a multi-variant job are refunded proportionally, automatically.
Questions next door
Do I get my money back when an AI generation fails?
Yes, automatically and in full. The charge happens when a generation starts and is reversed the moment it is marked failed — upstream errors, capacity errors and content-filter rejections all refund without a support ticket. A batch that is only partly rejected is refunded proportionally. There is nothing to claim and no waiting period.
Read the answerIs there a free trial, and what can I do with it?
Every new account starts with $0.20 of real balance, no card and no trial clock. That is six images on Nano Banana 2 Lite, or two 4-second silent clips on Veo 3.1 Lite, or a mix. It is ordinary balance rather than trial credit: it does not expire, and whatever you generate with it is yours to use.
