This usually means the request was sent to the wrong endpoint. Image and video models typically do not use the chat endpoint. Instead, submit the documented HTTP task request and poll the task status endpoint for results. Check the actual request code, URL, and payload first.

Ask the user for the task log or screenshot first and check whether input or output token usage appears. If token accounting shows up, the request was likely sent through a chat endpoint instead of the proper media workflow. Image and video models usually run as async HTTP task APIs: submit the task first, then poll by task id according to the relevant docs.
