Adobe Rate Limits
Rate limits across the Adobe API surface are service-specific. Document Services and Firefly publish per-API-key request quotas; Experience Platform uses sandbox-scoped throttling; Acrobat Sign limits are documented per endpoint. This artifact captures the umbrella policy; consult per-service rate-limit pages for numeric ceilings.

Limits
Per-service quotas (varies) api-key
see service-specific limits documentation
Each Adobe API documents its own per-second / per-minute ceilings; consult the developer.adobe.com docs for the specific service.
Generative-credit pacing (Firefly) account
see https://developer.adobe.com/firefly-services/docs/
Firefly throttling is governed by the generative credit balance and the per-minute concurrent-request ceiling specific to each Firefly endpoint.
Policies
Backoff Strategy
Implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor any Retry-After header.
Per-service throttling
Limits are enforced per-API and per-API-key; exceeding one service does not impact unrelated services on the same Adobe IMS organisation.
Enterprise raise
Enterprise customers can negotiate raised quotas for production traffic via their Adobe account team or technical account manager.
