Production and recovery

A production request contains jobs such as image generation, audio, animation, model processing or export packaging. Some work waits for dependencies or approval. The plan limits how many production jobs can run at once.

Queued work is waiting to run. Running work has been claimed. Needs review indicates a delivered result requiring attention. Completed means that operation finished; it does not mean every creative result has your approval. Failed, paused or stopped work can still have saved outputs.

Before paid work starts, Fabrik reserves its estimate. Saved outputs settle their share of the credits. Production controls show completed output counts, charged credits and remaining holds.

A provider submission with an unknown outcome may keep its hold until resolved. Rejecting a saved output does not refund its generation cost.

Pause prevents new work from progressing until you resume. Stop cancels work that has not started. A provider operation already in flight may finish and use its reserved credits. Saved files remain available.

Changing a budget affects new admission; it does not undo completed production. Inspect the current request before increasing its limit.

Use Recovery or the saved action in the original conversation when work is interrupted. Check saved work retrieves known original results without starting a new paid submission or increasing the hold.

If the original provider outcome is unknown, the job may need operator attention. Starting a replacement generation is separate work with a new estimate. Do not assume that a failed browser response means nothing was created.

Jobs and production state are saved on the server. Reopening the original project restores the current progress and available outputs. A browser does not need to stay open for submitted background work to continue.

If only part of a batch is saved, review that part before requesting more. Recovery should preserve finished files and their original charges.
