[Solution] Fix for “You can only generate 1 image or video at a time” in Sora

If you’re getting the error message in Sora:

“You can only generate 1 image or video at a time. Upgrade to generate more images or videos at the same time”

even though you’re not currently generating anything, this usually happens when a previous image/video request got stuck in the queue.

Here’s how I fixed it:

Step 1. Clear the stuck job in the queue

  • Go to your queue/history panel and delete any unfinished or errored image generations.

  • In many cases, this alone will reset Sora and you can start creating again.

Step 2. Clear browser cache if it still persists

  • If deleting the queue didn’t solve it, open your browser settings.

  • Clear Cached images and files (no need to clear cookies or history).

  • Refresh the page and try generating again.

This solved the issue for me immediately. Hopefully it helps anyone else stuck with the same error!
