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.

Adobe Photoshop Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Adobe Photoshop on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute and concurrent_jobs.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and serviceUnavailable.

Limits

Firefly Photoshop API (generative fill / expand / remove) account
requests_per_minute
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
concurrent_jobs
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.
