# Seedream 5.5 FAQ

## How do I start creating with Seedream 5.5?

Check the selected model, live availability and current quote in the generator before submitting.

## How are tasks charged?

The selected model, operation and settings determine the live quote. Review the current quote before submission. Review the checkout amount and renewal terms before paying.

## Do failed tasks restore credits?

Provider tasks that reach the failed state follow the existing transactional credit-reversal flow. A completed output that needs creative changes is a separate case.

## What are the homepage images?

Original editorial artwork prepared for this website. They are not Seedream 5.5 API test results. Historical model results retain their original model labels.

## Is this an official ByteDance website?

No. It is independently operated. Model names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
