I can confirm this behaviour on MacBook Pro M1 and Mac Mini M4Pro as well. I reinstalled photoshop completely, deleted the cache and preferences, turned off the graphic accelaration (or what ever it's called. I use german photoshop ofc.) 

This has to be fixed.

Exactly my problem. This has been happening ever since I first used Neural Filters and applied them to a smart object layer. I always receive this exact error.

The year is 2024 and I still have the same problem...

If I apply a Neural Filter and select the output as "Smart Filter", whenever I update the "Smart Object" to which the filter is applied, Photoshop becomes unresponsive for a long time and then returns this error "neural filters has exceeded the timeout limit"

Photoshop 2024 stable and the latest Beta have the same problem!

Yeah i get the same with Photoshop 2024 when trying to toggle off the neurfilters in the layers panel, version 25.4.0,. the more i use it the more issues i find, getting to be a bit of a joke that i can't toggle this on or off and the eye dropper tool is also broken because of a program error, is adobe just falling apart? is this normal? really doesn't seem like it imo

Did you ever get this fixed? I'm getting the same issue.

I'm getting the error just within Photoshop. As I said I've removed the filters from the document altogether but I'm still getting the error when I try to make edits to the layers that originally contained the filter.

The file has multiple artboards but isn't as big as most files I usually work on.

I've had to make a copy of the file and rasterize every layer that originally had the filter to stop the error. Its worked but is an annoying workaround.

I'm going to try the pref reset as well.

Arg, so sorry to hear this @Scott Readman. Are you getting these freezes while in Neural Filters? or within Photoshop itself outside of Neural Filters dialog?

 

Does a preferences reset help at all? https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences

 

The system I'm working on is similar to yours, actually even more under-powered than what you have. 

What are the image dimensions of the files you're working on?

Hi Pete,

 

So to give you an idea I've just updated photohsop to the latest build and opened the file that I used the filter on. I removed the filter last week. I've just tried to copy a piece of a layer and got the spinning wheel for about 10 seconds before the error came up.
