Adobe Photoshop Rate Limits
Server-side rate limits for Photoshop-related APIs apply to the Firefly Services Photoshop endpoints. Limits are governed by per-account concurrency caps and the generative-credit balance; sustained excess returns 429.

Limits
Firefly Photoshop API (generative fill / expand / remove) account
see https://developer.adobe.com/firefly-services/docs/photoshop/
Per-account throttle on the server-side image manipulation endpoints; concurrent generation slots vary per Firefly Services plan.
Photoshop API async jobs account
see https://developer.adobe.com/firefly-services/docs/photoshop/
Long-running operations (high-resolution renders, batch jobs) submit asynchronously; concurrency is gated per account.
Policies
Backoff Strategy
Exponential backoff with jitter; honor Retry-After when present.
Async-job pattern
Submit long-running renders as async jobs and poll the status endpoint; do not retry the create-job call to avoid duplicate work.
Generative-credit pacing
Calls decrement the generative-credit balance; depleted balance returns a billing-state error rather than 429.
