Gnerative Fiill in PS 25.9 not working from Europe

I've become totally dependant on Gnerative Fill.  I flew to Frankfurt on Sunday, and tried to do a generative fill today.  It just spins, waiting to show the 3 alternatives.  PS is not hung, but the fill never completes.  I've rebooted.  I'm posting this from the same Mac laptop running Sonoma 14.5, so the network coonnection is fine.  The Creative Cloud app is runngin fine.  Generative fill was working perfectly from JFK airport in NYC, but hangs in Frankfurt.  Is this by design, of is something broken? - Thanks!

Thanks, D Fosse, you might be correct.  I was able to use Generative Fill later in the week, but not on the airplane (when I had no internet connection).  Here's an idea for Adobe: Since the software must known when it can get a connection back to the server (which evidently it needs to perform a Generative Fill), it would be good to let the user know that, rather than just spinning endlessly.  For an example, see the way gmail works from a browser.  When a connection is unavailable, the client-side gmaill webpage says "something is wrong...", and I know not to expect my inbox to update.  It's a small thing, but make the app more predictable. - Thanks!

From what I can gather, Adobe's generative fill servers were down for a while. This isn't the only post.

@Ole Pa my guess is the network you are connected to is blocking via firewall access to Firefly/Photoshop/Adobe.
