A $100 wallet lasts 7 full days at 6 finished 15-second ads a day on Sume, with $8.1512 left. Each ad costs $2.1869: $1.875 for the Wan 3.0 clip at 720p, $0.10 for the render, $0.0119 for a 250-character voice line and $0.20 for captions. Six a day is $13.1212.

The daily burn

Wan 3.0 lists at $0.10 per output second at 720p (read 2026-10-07). Sume bills list times 1.25, so 15 seconds is $1.875.

Stretching the runway

Drop to 480p and the clip is $0.9375, so an ad is $1.2494 and 6 a day costs $7.4962, a runway of 13 days. Go to 1080p and the clip is $3.75, so 6 a day costs $24.3712 and the wallet lasts 4 days.

The clip is most of each ad, so resolution sets the runway. Finishing lines add about $0.3119 per ad at any resolution.

Retakes shorten it. If one clip in four is regenerated, add a quarter to the clip line: $2.6556 per ad.

  • Read GET /v1/balance each morning and divide by the daily figure.
  • Refunded jobs return their holds, so failures do not shorten the runway.
  • Set your own alert on the balance before the last day.

Weekly versus daily plans

Most teams do not publish every day. If you run 6 ads on 5 days a week, the weekly spend is $65.6062 and the wallet lasts 1 full weeks plus a partial one. Plan the wallet by the week, and check it on the same weekday.

The shape of the spend

Spend is rarely flat. A launch week might use 20 ads and a quiet week 2. Use the daily figure as a ceiling for planning, and log the actual captured spend from the usage ledger at the end of each week, not the held amount. If the captured spend is below plan for two weeks, the extra becomes room for 1080p finals.

A worked check

Take the 720p row for 6 ads a day. Each ad is $1.875 for the clip plus $0.3119 for finishing, which is $2.1869. Six of them are $13.1212 a day. Dividing the wallet by that daily figure gives the full days in the table, and the remainder is what is left over on the last, partial day.

If you can only afford part of a day, the first job that the balance cannot cover returns 402 insufficient_credits at submit, so the shortfall shows up as a refused job, not a half-finished clip.

Where the wallet stops you

When the balance cannot cover a job's reserve, the submit returns 402 insufficient_credits before provider work starts. In a daily loop the job on the last day will fail, not the first. Set your alert at two days of runway. See how far $20 goes and the minimum balance for one job for the single-job view.
