Why We Refund Credits When a Project Fails
You should not pay for a repurposing run that did not finish. How SparkVox checks balance, deducts, and refunds automatically.
You should not pay for a repurposing run that did not finish. SparkVox checks your balance before processing starts, deducts the per-minute processing fee when the pipeline begins, and refunds that fee automatically if the project ends in failed status.
How billing protection works
- Processing time is verified before ingest - a project never starts underfunded
- Processing time is deducted once at the start (1 minute per minute of content, rounded up)
- Post generation and sprout-tree images are included in that run
- If the pipeline fails, processing time is returned to your balance
You are not charged for AI calls that did not produce a reviewable sprout tree.
Common failure reasons
- Private, deleted, or region-blocked YouTube videos
- Broken or expired audio URLs
- Corrupt or unsupported uploads
- Transient transcription or generation errors
Open the project page to read the error message. If it looks like a one-off glitch, try again. Persistent failures are worth a bug report from the in-app Help drawer.
API and webhooks
Integrations receive a project.failed webhook with the same error context. Your monitoring script can alert the team without guessing whether processing time was spent - the refund happens on our side.
