Why a render may take time or fail
Understand slowdowns and failures—and what usually fixes them before escalating.

Use this if a render takes longer than expected, fails, or drifts far from what you asked. Image generation depends on clarity, restraint, and healthy provider uptime.
What you might see
- Processing seems stuck.
- Generation fails outright.
- Result changes something you wanted preserved.
- Style matches but room structure slips.
- Output diverges sharply from instructions.
Why it can happen
- Room photo is dark, blurry, cluttered, or hard to interpret.
- Single render asks for many unrelated changes.
- Instructions conflict with the photo or brief.
- Temporary model/provider slowdowns.
- Dropped connection before statuses refresh.
- Provider moderation or safety rejections.
What to try first
- Refresh the workspace and verify status finished.
- Retry once after network flakiness clears.
- Swap in a sharper room angle.
- Narrow each render to one primary goal.
- State explicitly what should stay untouched.
Improve the next render
Phrase follow-ups like: keep [what worked], change [miss], preserve [constraints]. Examples keep sofas and layout while adjusting lighting-only, rugs, etc.
