Gemini refused an edit, then did it after the same request

Gemini sometimes refuses editing tasks that it has handled many times before. Sending the same request again can make it complete the same edit afterward. In this case, the wait took about two minutes, and the uneven behavior made the tool feel frustrating and unpredictable.

Key points

  • Gemini refused an edit it had handled before.
  • The same request worked after being sent again.
  • The wait was about two minutes.
  • The main issue is inconsistent behavior, not a missing feature.
