Summary
Apple said some Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features that rely on server-side models will face future usage limits, with affected tools temporarily unavailable after users hit their cap.
The new support article says limits may vary by feature, request complexity, system demand and policy, and confirms users will be able to pay a fee for increased access.
Server-backed features listed include Siri AI, Intelligent Photo Editing tools, Image Playground, AFM 3 Cloud models in Shortcuts, and developer apps using Apple Foundation Models in Private Cloud Compute.
Home app Apple Intelligence features such as video summaries will also be tied to iCloud+ tiers—up to 1 camera on 2 TB plans, 2 on 6 TB, and 5 on 12 TB.
Apple also warned that excessive, abusive or automated use can be throttled, suspended or terminated under updated usage terms that cover availability, device requirements and age restrictions.
