Approval and credit status

Before every credit-consuming task, MOVO AI shows an approval card with the generation details, referenced assets, output count, and expected credit cost. Review everything before approving the task.

MOVO AI approval card — task summary, output count, and expected credit cost shown before each credit-consuming action
Before approving, review the generation request, referenced assets, output count, and credit cost. You can also open any referenced asset to inspect its details.

What the approval card shows

Before an eligible image, video, or audio task begins, the approval card shows the information MOVO AI will use for generation.

Item Description
Asset type Whether MOVO is generating an image, video, or audio asset.
Generation request A summary of what MOVO AI is about to generate.
Referenced assets Characters, objects, scenes, or other existing assets that will be used as references, when applicable.
Output count How many outputs will be generated.
Expected credit cost The estimated number of credits required.
Generation settings Model, duration, resolution, and other task-specific settings.

Check the task before approving

Check the output quantity and displayed cost carefully. Approving locks the task and starts credit reservation. Click [Approve] to proceed or [Reject] to stop the action and revise your request.

Credit status states

Every generation task moves through four credit states:

Waiting for approval

Generation has not started. No credits have been deducted. You can still edit the request or cancel.

Approved and queued

The estimated credits are temporarily frozen or reserved while the task is processing. This prevents you from over-spending during a busy session.

Generation successful

The final credit charge is deducted from your balance. The output appears in the session.

Generation failed

The reserved credits are returned to your account. You keep the credits and can re-run or revise the task.

Quick answers

What does a MOVO AI approval card show?

The asset type being generated, a task summary, the number of outputs, the expected credit cost, and relevant generation details like model, duration, and resolution.

When are credits actually deducted?

Credits are reserved when a task is approved and queued, deducted when generation succeeds, and returned to your account if generation fails. Nothing is deducted while a task is waiting for approval.

What happens if a generation fails?

The reserved credits are returned to your account. You can then re-run the task or revise your request without paying twice.

Can I cancel a task before it starts?

Yes. Click [Reject] on the approval card while the task is still in the "Waiting for approval" state. No credits have been deducted, so you can revise and try again.
