Common Errors

Rate Limits

Every project has some rate limit defining how quickly you can submits API requests. This is configured per project, and you can reach out to your account manager to understand or increase this rate limit.

When you are past the rate limit, your API requests will get a HTTP 429 response.

{ return_code: 429, message: 'Project has been rate limited' }

When this happens, please slow down and submit at a slower rate.

Content Moderation

Content moderation is enabled by default on all of our image generation models. When a request is made to our image generation models, it gets passed through two moderation filters. First, the prompt is run through our text moderation model. If the prompt gets flagged, image generation will not occur. If the prompt does not get flagged, the resulting generated images are run through our visual classification model.

If the image generated does not meet our guidelines for text or visual moderation, the task will not be charged, and the following message will be returned.

 { "return_code": 451, "message": "Images did not pass moderation filters.” }

Other Error Codes

Task responses will provide an error_code field. This field will give some more description as to what happened with the task.
