Speed

Generation time

Median time from submitting a request to a finished output, per task, over the generations that succeeded in the last 7 days. Resolution, length and queue all change it.

Times appear here once enough generations have finished.

History

Recent incidents

An incident is a stretch of hours in which a check found the model unusable, or at least a quarter of its generations (two or more) failed on our side. Times are in UTC.

No incidents in the last 90 days.

If it's down

If Veo 3.1 is down

CheaperGen runs official models below list price through lab partnerships, our own GPU inference for open-source models and automatic routing. The routing is what keeps Veo 3.1 running when capacity fails.

Automatic routing

We run Veo 3.1 across several upstream routes and check them every five minutes. When one slows down or fails, new requests switch to a healthy one automatically: same endpoint, same request. If nothing can take a request, it's declined up front and nothing is charged.

Failed generations are refunded

If a generation fails, the price held when you submitted goes back to your balance in full, automatically. The error says why and whether a retry can help. Error handling

A disclosed emergency price

When only pricier capacity is left, a request can run at the emergency price: never above the official price, and shown before it runs. On the API, allow_fallback_price: false keeps you at the standard price. Emergency price

FAQ

Veo 3.1 status questions

Every model's live state is on the status page.

No. Veo 3.1 is up and completing generations normally. Last checked Oct 25, 2026, 21:05 UTC; uptime over the last 30 days: 100%. This page updates every five minutes.

Every five minutes we check whether Veo 3.1 can be served, and we count every generation that finishes. Uptime is the share of those observations that found it working: 1 − (checks that found it unusable + generations that failed on our side) ÷ (all checks + all finished generations). Failures caused by the request itself, like a blocked prompt or an unreadable file, don't count, and degraded performance or the emergency price still count as up. A day with nothing recorded counts as fully available. Bars are green from 99%, amber from 95% and red below.

No. CheaperGen is independent of Google, and this page doesn't monitor Google's own console or API. It shows Veo 3.1 as served by CheaperGen across several upstream routes with automatic failover, measured by our own health checks and the generations that run here: whether Veo 3.1 works on CheaperGen right now.

It's refunded automatically: the price held when you submitted goes back to your balance in full, and the generation's error says why and whether retrying can help. When one route fails, new requests switch to a healthy one automatically. If nothing can take a request, it's declined before anything is charged.
