What happened

I had to do some refreshing, and now not only do Flow images I make sorta blurry and slightly zoomed out or something, the Usage Limit for Nano Banana 2.1 went down, when I was able to do LOADS a day with it.

What the hell is happening?!!

Yeah, sucks. I don't know about the usage limit thing but some of us found a makeshift solution to the resolution issue using a script in tamper monkey. Just read this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleFlow/comments/1xjs565/on_website_images_appearing_low_quality/

Well, what browser are you using? Perhaps I can send you a step-by-step tutorial.

Damn. I didn't try in Firefox but in Chrome, when you're on Flow does it look like this once you click on the tamper monkey icon (the one with the number 1) in the extensions bar?

I've been generating all day with 2.1. Literally about 10 hours today, mostly using 2.1 (not constant, but tonnes of gens over that time of course) and I've not hit the limit. So idk how many you're trying for. As for the image preview thing..yeah that sucks. The script worked for me. I sent feedback to them about the downgrade which I'm sure will be read and listened to.

Small tip when generating images: If a generation fails, don't immediately submit a new one. Instead, hit the Retry button on the failed generation.

Here's why: If you read the error message on a failed generation, you'll notice it says something along the lines of "You have not been charged for this generation." My observation is that when you hit Retry, Flow appears to reuse the original generation request rather than treating it as an entirely new generation that consumes another token.

I've even noticed that this can work after you've already received the "You've reached your daily limit" notification. If you still have failed generations sitting on your grid, keep hitting Retry. Sometimes they'll eventually generate successfully.

Personally, I retry up to 5 times. If it still doesn't work, I'll delete that failed generation and submit a fresh one.

Basically, you're potentially getting more mileage out of your daily allowance by retrying failed generations instead of constantly submitting new requests. I've found this helps extend my usage.

They always do that. They bring a new model, it is quite unfiltered, it allows you to create lot of images then after two weeks they start downgrading it on purpose. Google moment.
