Symptoms

Photoshop warns you are out of generative credits, or generative features are disabled or slower than before.

Why it happens

• Individual Photoshop plans include a small pool (25 credits a month was shown on Adobe's plan page when checked), versus thousands on Creative Cloud Pro
• Credits reset monthly and do not carry over
• Some partner models and Generative Expand use more credits per action
• Trial accounts get far fewer credits
