Troubleshooting Usage Issues
”Insufficient Compute Units”
Immediate Solutions:- Check current usage in account
- Each day all users have a small amount of free compute units so you can wait for that to reset
- Wait for the monthly reset if you’re on a paid plan
- If you’re on a paid plan, you can make one-time compute pack purchases. The purchased amount of compute units must be used within 90 days and they do not refresh.
- Upgrade your subscription
FAQ
Do unused compute units from my monthly plan roll over?
No, unused units from plans expire at the end of each billing cycle. They do not accumulate or roll over to the next month. Only compute packs can “roll over” since each lasts 90 days.Can I buy additional compute units?
Yes, you can via compute packs which are independent of your subscription from https://www.krea.ai/account/compute-packs. Compute packs allow you to generate more than your Krea subscription allows without needing to upgrade your plan. The purchased amount of compute units must be used within 90 days and they do not refresh.
