  • Summary: The macOS 27 Golden Gate version of Apple's Mac User Guide states that requests served by AFM 3 Cloud models are subject to daily usage limits, that those limits vary with request complexity and system demand, and that expanded access will be available for a fee in the future. Apple publishes no figure for the limit. This block rests on Apple's own guide page, not on the user-submitted Apple Community document circulating in the linked threads, which Apple disclaims as user content.
  • Why it matters: A Shortcuts automation or app feature that calls AFM 3 Cloud models runs under a quota Apple does not publish and states varies with load, so it cannot be sized in advance.
  • Follow-up: Whether Apple publishes the limit or the price of the stated paid tier.
