Credits and limits

Credit costs, polling limits, rate limits, and download link expiry.

Credit costs

Operation	Cost
Generate a single slide	1 credit
Generate a deck	1 credit per slide
Any edit	Free

Credits are shared across your organization. View your balance from the main app. Deck credits are charged after the storyline phase — the final count depends on how many slides the AI generates.

Timeouts

Each polling window lasts ~3 minutes. If generation is still running, the AI automatically retries (up to 10 times) until the result is ready or an error occurs.

Rate limits

The MCP surface applies a per-user sliding-window limit so a runaway client loop can't exhaust capacity for the rest of your org:

Tool category	Limit
Generation and edit tools (generate_slide, edit_slide, generate_deck, render_deck, export_deck, edit_deck_slide)	60 calls per minute
Read tools (check_generation_status, show_slide_preview, list_templates)	600 calls per minute

When a limit is exceeded the tool returns {"error": "...", "code": "rate_limited", "retry_after_seconds": 60}. Wait a minute, then retry.

Download links

• Single-slide download links expire after 30 minutes.

• Deck download links (the merged .pptx) expire after 1 hour.

If a link expires, ask your AI client to show the slide or deck preview again to get a fresh one.
