TrendShort: redo charge

TrendShort reads as “Failed runs refunded” on whether a redo is charged again. Google Flow read the same way, 2 of the 28 editors. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

After a task fails, the system attempts an automatic refund.

  • How credits are charged and refunded
    Estimated credits are authorised, charged when a task succeeds, and refunded automatically when it failsTrendShort, support / recorded 2026-09-25

1What the wording means

TrendShort authorises estimated credits when a task starts, finalises the charge when it succeeds and attempts an automatic refund when it fails. A successful redo is a successful task.

Only the vendor's words are used; the tool itself was not tested.
