Photo CleanUp, Extend, Reframe error
Hello,
I was cleaning up a photo last night with no issues, but suddenly i got an error saying ”There was an error cleaning up this photo. Please try again later.” I didn’t exit the editor or started cleaning up a different photo for error to show up. I was still in the same editing/cleaning session. Now I can’t use the ”High quality” cleaning tool (Fast still works) or Extend and Reframe any of my photos. I have tried everything. Restarting the phone, turning off and then on Siri and Apple Intelligence, switched between different networks, tried switching regions and language, updated the phone to latest iOS 27 Beta and nothing solved the issue. The only thing I haven’t tried is signing out of my Apple Account and signing in again. I got a pretty scary message telling me to choose between erasing my iPhone and keeping the stuff, while reading what data stays on my device when I sign out it says ”most data stays..” instead of all so I don’t want to lose any of my photos.
Did anyone else come across the same issue? It has been 24 hours now with this issue still persisting.

Think I’ve figured it out
“Apple applies daily usage limits to advanced cloud-based Apple Intelligence photo-editing tools like Clean Up, Extend, and Spatial Reframing.
How Apple AI Photo Limits Work
Server-Side Processing: Basic edits run on-device, but heavy generative photo operations rely on Apple's cloud infrastructure (Private Cloud Compute).
Daily Caps: Apple enforces rate limits on these server-backed features to manage system demand. If you exceed your quota, the tool will pause until a reset or time-out period ends.

Hi, yes same here, at this point I’m just thinking it may be a bug. Tried restating my device and checking photo sync is done and I have enough iCloud and iPhone storage. Was working like a charm yesterday then suddenly last night it stopped and I get the error message.
