We understand that there are plenty of reasons you would need to unsubscribe from our service.
As of now, if you were to unsubscribe from the service all images and videos generated would be blurred. You'll need to go through and download any generations you'll want to keep later.

Common errors include timeouts (refunded), content policy violations, server errors, and insufficient dreamcoins.
If you're seeing error messages when trying to generate content, here's what they mean and how to fix them.
What this means: The generation took too long to process and was automatically canceled. Your dreamcoins are refunded automatically.
What this means: The generation was blocked because it violates our content policy.
What this means: Something went wrong on our end. Sorry!
What this means: You don't have enough coins for this generation.
Good news! When a generation fails, your dreamcoins are automatically refunded within a few minutes. You should see them back in your balance right away.
If you don't see your coins back after 15 minutes: refresh your browser, check your balance, log out and log back in. If still missing, contact support with the timestamp.
This is rare, but if it happens: wait 15 minutes, refresh your browser completely, check your generation history to confirm it failed, then contact support with the time, what you were trying to generate, and your current coin balance. We'll investigate and restore your coins.
Wait 60 seconds, check dreamcoins, refresh, clear cache, or review moderation flags.
If chat suddenly stops responding, your message may have triggered content filters. There will be a flag that appears for this. Review your last message, rephrase more generally, and try a different character or topic.
Contact support with which character you're chatting with, when the issue started, what you've already tried, and a screenshot if possible.

Community packs are the entire library of image and video for one character. They are purchased for 1,000 coins per character. They grant access to all of the character's images and videos and any future content generated of that character.
They fall under the same rules as other content, meaning that when a subscription ends the content in the community will be blurred — an active subscription is needed to view them.

Underage content is strictly prohibited. See our Terms of Service.
Your character needs additional depth so the AI has more material to work with. Consider adding: a backstory, motivations or goals, friends/enemies/relationships, likes and dislikes, fears or personal challenges, and preferred love language.
Automod blocks messages that hit the content filter. The moderation notice will show the exact reason. If issues continue, ask a moderator in Discord for help.
