Set "Image Size" in the image settings page to "auto".

New error.

Creating image

An error occurred while generating an image

I understand you'd like an image of a red flower. Unfortunately, I'm currently unable to fulfill that request. The system is experiencing an error: [ERROR: Billing hard limit has been reached.]

I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm still under development and learning to handle limitations.

Would you like me to try generating a different image, or perhaps explore some alternative options (like describing the image in detail if you'd like to try another AI image generator)?

Is there a free image generator model api key?

These are my only options.

sorry to say this is just fucking stupid. :/

The model is ran on my PC. So therefore, why is openai and gemma asking for money for a api key.
I know what it is, I had to use one for a stupid open source weather app couple years ago and ditched it.

Because you have configured the image generator to use OpenAI.
