The Vector concept isn't working (AI 30.5.1 (64-bit, Windows 11); it throws an error (even though my internet connection is stable). And it deducts points for every failed attempt. Yesterday morning, one image was generated successfully, but every subsequent attempt yielded the same result—nothing—yet the points were still deducted.

    Hi ​@Kateryna_Shcheglova7394,

     

    Sorry to hear you're running into this issue, especially with credits being deducted while the generation fails and the panel not rendering correctly.

    Could you please close all Adobe apps and try signing out of the Creative Cloud Desktop app and signing back in, then test the feature again in a brand-new Illustrator document? I'd also recommend resetting Illustrator preferences manually (after taking backup) and checking whether that changes the behavior:

    Please also temporarily disable any VPN, proxy, security filtering, or enterprise firewall controls that may be affecting connectivity, and if possible, test from a completely different network such as a mobile hotspot. Additionally, could you confirm whether this occurs with all available partner models or only when using Gemini?

    If the issue persists, please restart the machine and test from a new Windows user account to help isolate whether the issue is tied to the current user profile:

    If possible, please share a short screen recording showing the prompt being entered, the credit deduction, the connection error, and the collapsed Gemini panel. That will help us better understand what's happening and investigate further.

     

    Looking forward to your update.

    Abhishek
