How API billing works
Video APIs commonly bill against generated output seconds, but the precise metering, minimums, failed-generation treatment, and promotion eligibility must be read in the current official documentation. Treat a dashboard estimate as a planning input, not a contract.
Use a single source of truth: the provider page you can still access, with its date and the exact model endpoint recorded.
Saving money (general advice)
- Validate prompts and pipelines on the lowest appropriate resolution before scaling.
- Set spending alerts and a hard test budget in the platform account.
- Measure successful delivered output, not only requests sent.
- Use a short pilot window before committing to continuous generation.
