I am not sure if there is a problem with Dall-E 3 at the moment. I have tried to generate prompts, and it is still saying ‘Generating an image baed on your prompt’ for about half an hour, and is still ongoing.

On the API. I think, I just inputted Dalle 3, and inserted an image prompt, after 40 minites it still says ‘Generating an image based on your prompt…’ It has been a little slow before,but this is ridiculous!!!

The API sends this back?

Do you have code you can share?
