Research direction

Start with the supplied Imagen Python snippet and the Cloud Run error log showing a 401 Deadline failure. Check whether the failure can be reproduced around model.generate_images and determine the relevant Vertex AI request behavior; the issue is complete when the cause and a verified resolution are documented.

Example code:

    return

    Common.log_info(message='Invalid prompt, not generating image')
    return
number_of_images: int = data.get(NUMBER_OF_IMAGES_KEY, 1)

output_image_path: str = (GENERATED_IMAGE_PREFIX + user_id +
                          '/' +
