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.
