What does Google change in Flow on 5 December 2026?
The Flow credits help page says that on 5 December 2026 Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1 Quality and Omni Flash 1.1 are retired. Until that date you can still generate with them at the current credit rates, and Google recommends moving new projects to Omni Flash 1.2 or Veo 3.1 Lite. On 5 November 2026 Veo Extend was already retired: extending a clip now needs a Google AI Plus, Pro or Ultra subscription and Omni Flash 1.2.
The same help page prices Omni Flash 1.2 by the second. Clips up to 10 seconds are open to every account. Clips from 11 to 15 seconds, and extensions of 3 to 10 seconds, need Plus, Pro or Ultra. Veo 3.1 Lite stays as a 720p option of 4, 6 or 8 seconds. The models page says Lite does not do video-to-video editing and does not extend a clip.
What does that mean for Reels, Shorts and ads in Brazil?
On 5 November 2026 Tecnoblog reported the Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash launch: clips up to 15 seconds, up from 10 on version 1.1, with a length you set in steps of 1 second from a minimum of 3 seconds. The article also repeats the Google API price of US$ 0.07 per second at 720p, which Google says is 30% below Omni 1.1. That dollar price is the Gemini API. It is not the Flow credit table.
The Google blog describes 15-second clips as room for a product explainer or a social ad in one generation, and multi-turn edits of the same clip (another background, another format) instead of starting over. Google also says outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark.
For a creator in Brazil the practical change is inside Flow. A series that used to live on Veo 3.1 Fast or Omni Flash 1.1 has to move. Omni Flash 1.2 is the model that edits by conversation and, on a paid plan, holds a shot for up to 15 seconds. Each new take and each correction spends the pool again.
How many credits does Omni Flash 1.2 spend?
Google publishes rates, not a finished total for a 15-second clip. The totals below are arithmetic from that table. Costs can change: the help page says to check Settings on the prompt box before you generate. One request can produce more than one generation, and the rate is per generation.
| Work | Who can use it | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Omni Flash 1.2, 10 seconds, 720p | Every account | 30 (10 × 3 per second) |
| Omni Flash 1.2, 15 seconds, 720p | Plus, Pro or Ultra | 60 (10 × 3, then 5 × 6) |
| Omni Flash 1.2, 10 seconds, 360p | Every account | 10 (10 × 1 per second) |
| Omni Flash 1.2, 15 seconds, 360p | Plus, Pro or Ultra | 20 (10 × 1, then 5 × 2) |
| Extend by 10 seconds at 720p | Plus, Pro or Ultra | 30 (10 × 3 per second added) |
| Upscale a 15-second clip to 1080p | Plus, Pro or Ultra | 5 (0 for the first 10 seconds, then 1 per extra second) |
| Upscale a 15-second clip to 4K | Ultra only | 75 (50 for the first 10 seconds, then 5 × 5) |
| Veo 3.1 Lite, 4, 6 or 8 seconds, 720p | Depends on the plan | 5 on Ultra, 10 for everyone else |
| Omni Flash 1.1, 10 seconds, 720p (retires 5 December) | Every account, until that date | 15 for the clip; an edit is a flat 40 |
Editing an Omni Flash 1.2 clip uses the same per-second rate as a new clip of that length. At 720p, a 10-second Omni 1.2 clip is 30 credits, while the retiring Omni 1.1 clip of 10 seconds is 15. In Flow, the newer model spends more credits for the same length. The 30% figure is the API price in dollars, not a discount on these credits. Drafting at 360p costs one third of 720p. Seconds 11 to 15 cost double the base rate.
Which Veo 3 · Unlimited Credit plan fits?
ChugAx is an independent shop in Vietnam. It sells access to Google AI Ultra 20x plans. Unlimited Credit means the shop refills the Family Flow pool with no cap on the number of refills. It does not mean a video costs zero credits. Omni Flash still spends credits on every generation and every edit.
| Plan | Who shares the pool | Price for the month |
|---|---|---|
| Veo 3 · Unlimited Credit · 1 member | The shop manages the Family. Up to 5 customers in that group share one pool. | 8,000,000 VND (about US$ 310.1, about R$ 1.538,46) |
| Full Family · Unlimited Credit | You manage the Family. You and 4 people you invite share the pool. | 40,000,000 VND (about US$ 1,550.4, about R$ 7.692,31) |
If you work alone and can accept a pool shared with other customers, the 1-member plan is the smaller bill. If the credits must stay with people you invite, choose Full Family. Ask the bot about the support tool that helps you use a shared pool. If the 1-member plan stops during the month, the shop restores access or arranges a replacement account; if it cannot, it refunds the unused time. On Full Family the shop restores the plan when the problem comes from its own account; if it cannot, it refunds the unused time. Problems with your own Gmail are not covered. The three Full Family exclusions are listed in the warranty guide.
How do you order from Brazil?
Orders go through the Telegram bot @chugax_gl_bot. The website does not take payment. There is no Pix key: Pix only moves money inside Brazil.
- Tell the bot which plan you want. It checks that your Gmail is eligible and states the amount.
- Pay only after that confirmation. Buy USDT with Pix and send it on the network the bot names (TRC20 or BEP20), or add reais to Wise with Pix and send VND to the MB Bank account the bot gives.
- The shop activates the plan 1 to 3 days after it has the details and confirms payment. That wait is for a new order, not for a later refill.
Prices are set in VND for the whole term. Reais on this page use 5,200 VND per real and are a reference only. The amount you pay is the one the bot confirms. The steps in more detail are in paying from Brazil. Never send a password, an OTP or a recovery code.
Which limits still apply?
Refills run from 10:00 to 21:00 Vietnam time (GMT+7), which is 0:00 to 11:00 in Brasília, with 2 to 3 hours between refills. Message the bot when the pool hits zero. Outside that window the refill waits until support is open again. This is not an instant, 24-hour service.
- Google and Flow limits still sit on top of the credit count. The help page says the rates can change at any time.
- Some Omni features and voice options are only available in certain regions. This page does not claim that every option is open in Brazil.
- A 15-second clip and an extension need a paid Google AI plan. Veo 3.1 Lite cannot replace Omni Flash when you need to edit a clip or extend it.
- Until 5 December the older models still run. Finish a series on the model it started on, or start the new one on Omni Flash 1.2 or Veo 3.1 Lite, instead of mixing them in the middle of a sequence.
