Firefly Broken on My Paid Accounts, Works on Non‑Paid Account

For several days, Adobe Firefly has been 100% unusable for me. Every attempt to generate or edit anything results in the same error:

“Something went wrong / Please try again later.”

This happens on both of my Adobe accounts:

  • My personal Creative Cloud subscription

  • My company Creative Cloud subscription

Both paid plans fail in exactly the same way.

However, on the same computer, same browser, same network, if I log out and switch to my wife’s Adobe account (she does NOT have a paid plan), Firefly works perfectly with no errors.

This clearly proves the issue is not related to my device, browser, cache, extensions, or network, but instead something wrong with my account or subscription configuration on Adobe’s backend.

Because of this bug, I have been unable to work for several days while still paying for two active plans.

I urgently request that Adobe:

  1. Investigate and fix the account‑level issue affecting my subscriptions

  2. Provide compensation or credit for the days I could not use Firefly at all

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Log in with either of my paid Adobe accounts

  2. Open Firefly (any feature: Image generation, editing, etc.)

  3. Upload an image or click Generate

  4. Firefly immediately shows “Something went wrong”

  5. This happens 100% of the time

Expected result: Firefly should generate or edit images normally.

Actual result: Firefly instantly fails with “Something went wrong” on every attempt.

Additional notes:

  • Tested on multiple browsers

  • Tested with cache cleared

  • Tested in incognito mode

  • Tested with all extensions disabled

  • Tested on the same machine with a different Adobe account → works perfectly

  • This strongly indicates a subscription or account configuration issue on Adobe’s side

Please look into this as soon as possible. I have lost several days of productivity due to this issue.

Thank you.

    Same Here, ditto. I second everything darami says.

    1- How on gods green earth can a company warrant charging for a product that barely works, and often not at all. I will be writing to Adobe in detail. I am frustrated, pissed, ready to throw a tv out a window, punch a couch cushion, smash my keyboard over a coffee mug, spit directly into the water cooler that feeds adobe firefly admins. I will likely cancel all firefly subscriptions.

    2- Does anyone pay a lease on a 3 wheeled car that starts .24176 percent of the time and independently takes control of the wheel on your way to work and pulls over, then belches 12 gallons of gas onto the ground while spinning up the odometer a couple hundred miles just to make sure you know you’ll be exceeding the monthly mileage alottment in your lease. AND You are paying for the gas that just got purged.

    3- Half the generations are duplications of previous generations. 25% are crap, and the 25% that are usable are as a result,  3x more expensive. 

    4- At least 60% of my time interacting with Firefly is waiting for it to finally fail to generate with it’s error message that tells me to try again later. When I go to my generations library, there is the generation thumbnail for the latest attempt, although when I try to open it to view/edit, spinning wheels for 15 minutes and sometimes, maybe 10% of the time, it will open and let me make iterations of it/edit.

    5- The amount of wasted time waiting for the failed generation attempt message, then killing chrome, restarting, clearing the cache, which works about 40 percent of the time... is maddening. 

    This tool and interface barely works. Why am I paying for it? 

    I should be paid for what amounts to beta driving this shitshow.

    The interface sucks. Obscurification of tools and locations of features is remedial design. The generation history icon is about 5 pixels x 5 pixels and only shows up under god-knows what conditions ...

    This is a half baked project that feels like riding a kayak through a rock crusher while being screamed at by a mother in-law with shatter-glass vocal chords.

    There, I’ve said it.

    Ya sama aku user gratisan yg biasa generate harian, tapi ku mencoba untuk upgrade plan, karena itu ku coba trial dulu, nah niatnya ingin langganan satu tahun setelah 3-4 hari mencoba trial,tapi dari kemarin tertulis sama "Something Got Worng" , baik image to video,image edit, video edit, teks to video, dan sampai sekarang juga, Padahal Ini Bagus Sekali, ada teman-teman ku yg ku beri tahu untuk langganan disini,tapi karena terjadi seperti ini ku bilang lah, jangan dulu lagi eror, akhirnya beberapa teman menunda untuk upgrade plan sampai setabil lagi

    Hi ​@darami,

     

    Can you please follow the steps in this article to create a HAR file: Collecting logs for generation errors in Adobe Firefly?  Then message me privately and I can co-ordinate getting it.

     

    Thanks,
