Edit: Testing complete. All users are now running at the same priority level again. Thanks for baring with us as we tested things out and for the feedback you've provided here. Now we're going to be reviewing the performance data and determining the right way to roll-out request prioritization. At this time, we're leaning towards an option that allows all membership levels to pay extra for higher priority.
We're always looking for ways to improve the generation experience for everyone in our community. Starting today, we're running a test of queue prioritization that will help us better understand how to balance our resources and provide the best possible service to all users.
What's Changing?
Until December 6th at 12am UTC (December 5th @ 4pm PT), we'll be testing a new priority system for the generation queue:
Gold Members: High Priority Queue
Bronze & Silver Members: Normal Priority Queue
Non-Members: Low Priority Queue
Why Are We Testing This?
This test will help us gather real-world data on how different queue priorities affect wait times and overall generation experience across our user base. We'll be closely monitoring the impact and making adjustments throughout the test period to find the right balance.
What's Next?
Over the coming weeks, we'll be recalibrating these priorities based on usage patterns and your feedback. This is very much a test – we want to ensure that any changes we make enhance the experience for our entire community while being fair to everyone.
We appreciate your understanding as we run this experiment. Your experience during this test and any feedback you provide will be invaluable in helping us shape the future of generation on Civitai.
As always, we'll keep you updated on what we learn and any adjustments we make along the way. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.
