Pixel Dojo clarifies Sensei’s standing budgets, larger approvals and retake decisions

The [Sensei FAQ](https://pixeldojo.ai/sensei) says small jobs run within a set budget, while larger ones wait for Approve. That qualifies its broader no‑spending‑without‑asking language: prior budget authorization is different from a fresh click for every small job. Users can stop the run; the page does not define the numerical small‑job threshold.

Pixel Dojo says images and videos use [normal generation credits plus a small Sensei thinking fee](https://pixeldojo.ai/sensei). It does not give a fixed price for every recovery attempt. The [October 31 changelog](https://pixeldojo.ai/changelog) clarifies that a take missing the brief is remade or flagged for the user to decide. The [product page](https://pixeldojo.ai/sensei) repeats that choice; it does not establish free, unlimited retakes or remove the user’s judgment.
