    Hey ​@Nighthawk 2781 


    First it is frustrating for sure, when you don’t get the desired results that you want.

    There are a lot of quick actions that could help w editing photos.

    Hello!

    ​I am very sorry to hear about your experience. Losing over 200 credits without getting the desired results is understandably frustrating, especially when the tool feels unresponsive to your prompts.

    ​To help you resolve this and prevent further credit loss, please consider the following steps:

    ​1. Why Credits are Consumed Without Results

    ​Adobe Firefly charges a credit once the 'Generate' button is pressed and the process starts on the server. If the process fails halfway due to a Network Timeout or a Browser Cache issue, the credit may still be deducted.

    • The Fix: Before trying again, please clear your browser’s cache and ensure you aren't using a VPN or aggressive Ad-blockers, as these often interrupt the AI's 'handshake' with the server.

    ​2. "Not Following Instructions"

    ​If Firefly isn't reflecting your prompts, it might be due to a Language or Content Filter trigger that isn't displaying an error message correctly.

    • Tip: Try using simpler, descriptive keywords instead of long sentences. Also, ensure your 'Structure' and 'Style' reference strengths aren't set too high, as they can sometimes override new prompt instructions.

    ​3. Regarding Credit Restoration

    ​As a Product Expert, I must clarify that credits are typically not restored automatically via the forum. However, since you’ve had a significant technical failure (200+ credits), you should contact Adobe Customer Care directly.

    • ​Go to the Adobe Contact Center.
    • ​Type 'Agent' in the chat to speak with a human representative.
    • ​Provide them with the approximate dates and the number of failed attempts; they have the tools to verify server-side errors and may offer a manual adjustment for your credits.

    Quick Test: Try using Firefly in an Incognito/Private window. If it works correctly there, it confirms the issue was with your browser settings and not the service itself. This will help you save your remaining credits."
