AI Assistant and generative summary in Acrobat have certain usage limitations. Individual, Teams, or Enterprise users of Acrobat are provided with a limited number of Requests for AI Assistant in Acrobat or Reader at no additional charge, after which users must purchase an AI Assistant for Acrobat plan to continue using these features. These Requests cannot be used toward or combined with Creative Cloud generative credits. We reserve the right to update usage limits or to throttle or suspend usage that exceeds our limits at any time.
AI Assistant capabilities are available to customers with a free or paid entitlement when they purchase a new AI Assistant for Acrobat add-on subscription. AI Assistant for Acrobat subscriptions are available on desktop, web, and mobile in English—other languages to follow.

Common questions
What is throttling?
All Requests made to AI Assistant for Acrobat are monitored to protect system resources and preserve our ability to serve as many users as possible.
The rate of resource consumption by the same consumer (for example, the same user ID, IP address, agreement IDs, etc.) is limited by the minute, hour, and day. When a consumer crosses a throttling threshold, that Request is rejected when there are too many Requests submitted (response status code HTTP 429).
Each Request to AI Assistant for Acrobat is evaluated based on the amount of system resources it consumes. Different parameters passed to the same endpoint might contribute to a different amount of resource consumption.
What is the allowed rate of Requests?
For Acrobat for Individuals plans, Requests higher than 1,000 per month, per user, may encounter throttling policies. Throttling policies are based on historical daily Request data, including legitimate usages that stress the system.
