    Hi ​@Stephen30513916jn80,

     

    Thanks for the feedback.

     

    When Google offers free image generations through their own products, that reflects their own business model and how they choose to subsidise compute costs on their platform. When Nano Banana Pro is used within Firefly, each generation still consumes real compute resources — the same as any other partner model available in Firefly. Adobe pays for those API calls regardless of what Google offers elsewhere, which is why generations using partner models, including Nano Banana Pro, consume credits in the same way as  other partners such as Flux and Runway. Having a Google account does not affect this, as the two platforms operate independently.
