Black Forest Labs Rate Limits

BFL's primary throughput control is async generation with a polling_url returned per request. Specific RPS or concurrent job caps are not publicly documented; large customers should consult sales for negotiated throughput.

Limits

Async Job Concurrency account

not publicly documented
Use the returned polling_url; do not construct your own polling URL.
HTTP Requests account
requests

Standard 429 backoff applies.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor any Retry-After header.
Polling Discipline
Always use the polling_url returned in the response rather than constructing one client-side.
Regional Routing
Choose the EU or US regional endpoint to control data residency and latency.
