Building, editing, and remixing on Whip share one daily pool — up to 50 a day (with shorter caps of 15 an hour and 3 a minute), and it resets on its own. Builds usually go smoothly — they retry themselves if something goes wrong, keep your progress if they hit a ceiling, and fail with a clear message rather than spinning forever. Here’s the full picture.

Your daily building limit

Everything that generates an app — creating, editing, and remixing — draws from the same shared pool.

Up to 50 a day

That’s plenty for a busy building session. There are also shorter limits of about 15 an hour and 3 a minute to keep things running smoothly for everyone.

It resets on its own

You don’t do anything — the limit refreshes automatically. If you hit it, Whip shows a friendly dialog telling you when you can build again.
These numbers can evolve over time. If you’re regularly hitting the ceiling and want more room, the Whip Discord is the place to ask.

When a build hits a ceiling mid-way

A really ambitious build can get too big or complex to finish in one go. When that happens, Whip doesn’t throw your work away — it stops, keeps your progress, and shows a message like “send a message to continue building from where it left off.” Reply in the chat and the AI carries on. It’s a pause, not a dead end.

Stopping a build yourself

Changed your mind partway through a build? You can stop it anytime. Whip keeps the partial work as a version, so you can pick it back up later by sending another message — nothing you’ve built so far is lost.

When a build fails

Two things happen automatically before you ever see an error:
  • Whip retries — up to 3 times. Most temporary hiccups are fixed on their own, quietly, without you lifting a finger.
  • Genuinely stuck builds time out with a clear error instead of spinning forever. If a build can’t finish, Whip tells you plainly rather than leaving you waiting.
A failed build never eats your idea or your version history. The fix is almost always the same: send another message.

Recovery playbook

If a build failed or stopped, work through these in order — most issues clear up at step 1 or 2.

Reopen the chat

Head back into the same conversation for your app. Your idea, your history, and any attachments are all still there.

Send a message to continue

Reply in the chat to pick up where it left off — repeat your request, or reword it slightly. This alone recovers most failed or stopped builds.

Simplify the ask

If it keeps struggling, try a leaner version of the request. Ask for the core thing first; you can layer on extras once it’s working.

Split big ideas into steps

Break one giant request into a few smaller ones — build the base, then add features one message at a time. Prompt tips has more on this.

When to contact support

Most build troubles resolve with another message. But if an app is stuck across several tries, or something clearly isn’t working right, email support@whip.run with your app’s name and what you were trying to do. You can also check troubleshooting for more fixes.

Common questions

No. A failed build doesn’t wipe your idea or your earlier versions. Send another message to continue.
Give it a moment; ambitious builds take longer. If it’s genuinely stuck, Whip times it out with a clear error rather than hanging forever, and you can send a message to try again.
Your limit resets on its own, so waiting is the simplest fix. If you need more room regularly, ask on the Whip Discord.
Yes. Creating, editing, and remixing all share the same daily pool of up to 50 — see editing your app for how edits work.
