Policies

Backoff Strategy

Exponential backoff with jitter; honor Retry-After when present.

Generative-credit pacing

Calls decrement the generative-credit balance; depleted balance returns a billing-state error rather than a 429.

Concurrency caps

Each Firefly endpoint has a concurrent-request cap per account; exceeding it returns 429 with Retry-After.
