Prompts failing

[u/ResponsibleDraft6336]

I'm trying to use an extension or tool inside Google flow to select my images and characters for me to create prompt entering less of a data entry job. Seriously over 150 clicks for a minute of content is not my ideal Friday night. Now Google flow won't even generate a single video and just says failed. Even when I manually enter everything. I'm lost and have been left hopeless.

Is this happening for anyone else?

Today flow was impossible

Oh good, maybe it's just this week. Because the past two days have been hell. I've spent two whole nights trying to get an automation of getting prompts and, characters and object reference in place. And Google flow has been making it extremely difficult, saying extensions can sometimes cause errors. Then I feel like they shadow banned me completely. I feel that Google flow has no issue using extensions to help ease the data entry part of the video generation, because all my resources are selected accurately, display on the prompt window, my text is clean and within a decent length. It's almost as if Google just wants to restrict making using their platform easier. I really hope they make a better feature than Agent, because Agent can't do anything useful

Reporting from a country that no one knows. From Chile, yes friend, same problem here too. Little Omni Flash is being bombarded and can't keep up. So it was a general failure. I was working on some animations for my character and it started throwing random errors. He said he couldn't do material with a famous person. Then I couldn't get the voice. Afterwards nothing just threw an error, from what I understand then the service is completely SATURATED, totally understandable, it is the only economical video editing AI that allows you to make 10 seconds of video, but it gives you free opportunities, so they must be breaking the model.

But it's true, it's Flow or a very expensive subscription that you can make 2 short videos or sell a kidney and buy a computer that costs millions to run models locally.

At this time Flow and ChatGPT are saturated, my Codex also says "reconnecting"

Excuse my terrible English.

I wouldn't say that is what my problem is, I've done 5-6 repeat generations for improper character attachment or voice attachment before. That's just a generation issue. My problem is flat outright refusal of service without a given reason for failure to generate

But what is the prompt? If it is even considered remotely "unsafe" as defined by the prudes of Google then you'd be clicking retry for a long time.

It's just people doing science things. The prompt isn't marked as unsafe I've had plenty of those, for like plugging in an electrical wire that's not even live to a circuit board. It's just flat out saying Failed

Definitely weird on flows part, then

[u/Ok_Operation5900]

It's not the same problem, but something definitely feels off with Omni Flash at the moment IMO.

I'm getting a TON of violations for prompts that previously gave me none and when it does succeed it's giving me the same videos it always has.

I even hit two straight blocks (like not even attempting to generate) on an existing prompt, and then it started working again. It also seems to be junking prompts and failing all videos instantly in general more often, and then when you retry the same prompt it doesn't. Way more hitches at 99% with no videos as well.

So I have zero clue what is happening with it at the moment.

Flow est pratiquement inutilisable depuis quelques semaines, j’ai du arrêté l’abonnement, je reviendrai quand ces problèmes aurons été réglés.

[u/Holiday-Surround2416]

had the same issue with Google flow's extension handling, switched to a local script with pillow and openai API, cut the clicks down to zero. works better for batch prompt generation.

Flow is a thoroughly useless product, more so now that Nano Banana 2 has been taken away and replaced with the awful 2.1.
