This morning I created about ten images with Bing and maybe one or two 'dogs' popped up. At no time did I get a 'prompt warning' about illegal content.

Then, I was presented with this screen. . . I am puzzled as there are no other 'ongoing creations' being done in the background. The last image was completed and I had clicked the 'create' button as always.

But now, nearly an hour later and I still cannot use Bing.

Has anyone else experienced this, and do you have any suggestions or tips on how to avoid it?

There's a hard limit on the number of creations in a given period - you'll need to wait 24 hours (or set up a second account with a different email address).

Are you using multiple browser tabs? I know I do that, as it can speed it up. I'm wondering if there's an upper limit as to how many you can churn at once.

Only using one tab on my browser, and didn't do too many this morning, but between then and the same time yesterday I may have gone over whatever limit they have. Thanks for the answers!

Yeah, yesterday I was making image after image and I was hardly getting any dogs, then suddenly a bunch of dogs and then that message when all I was doing was describing a modestly-dressed character from a story, no mess.

Yup, I've gotten it every day since I started using it. I'm now running 5 different accounts just so I can keep working. When one gets that message, I switch accounts. The problem with doing that is that when Im running a stream of images on one with one prompt, then paste that same prompt on a different account, it gives me lesser quality material. Admittedly, I have NO IDEA how the AI works, but it gives the impression that it learns or remembers each time you create the same prompt, and it has to start over from scratch when you switch accounts.

As for how that message works, it seems to be a 24hr hold from the FIRST image you created the day before, and each image has it's own timer. 2 days ago I got that message on all 5 accounts. Yesterday I logged into the first account I had used the day prior, roughly around the same time, and it worked. But it only worked for like 3 images, then I got the message again. About 10 minutes later it worked for a few images, then I got the message again. I waited about an hour and then it was good up until I hit the limit when I would normally expect to. Somewhere around 100 to 150 batches created. And yeah, Im pretty sure that is just their way of limiting your usage each day. They could just have a counter like other image creaters do. Even Bing Chat has a counter, so I don't know why Bing Image Creator doesn't.

Just before that popped up, I had gotten the 'dog' for about 8 times in a row, on a prompt I had been successfully using with very few dog images up until then. Suddenly it's dog, dog, dog, then that box came up. Thanks for helping me realize it's not me, it's them limiting users.
