Luma Ai Rate Limits

Dream Machine API uses async submit + poll semantics; HTTP RPS limits are not publicly documented. Provisioned-throughput Scale plans purchase reserved generation capacity in units (8-unit minimum). Build-tier customers share elastic capacity with throttling under load.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor any Retry-After header.
Async Polling
Submit generation, then poll /v1/generations/{id} until status reaches completed.
Capacity Planning
Move to Scale plan when predictable throughput is required for production workloads.
