The most expensive single job on Sume is a 30-second 1080p seedance-2.5 clip at $42.65; the cheapest maximum is minimax-h3 at 15 seconds and 768p for $1.13. Sume reserves the price when you submit, so this is the amount a single request can hold from your balance.

How the ceiling is built

Take each row's longest duration and highest resolution from the Video Router docs, multiply by the billable per-second rate (list times 1.25), and round up to the cent. Seedance rows use token pricing at 16:9; Kling uses the audio-on rate; Recast and Genjutsu take the source length as duration, so the number is for the longest source the row accepts.

Why this matters

A batch queue should know the worst case before it submits. If you fan out ten 30-second Seedance 2.5 jobs at 1080p, the reservation is $426.50, not the clip price you saw in a 5-second test. Check the balance against the sum of the reserves, not the sum of the expected captures.

A failed job does not capture; see failed jobs. But a job that succeeds at the ceiling does, so a typo in duration (30 for 3) is the cheapest bug to prevent with a pre-flight check.

A pre-flight rule

Read GET /v1/videos/models, take supported_durations and the matching pricing_skus, compute the cost in your code, and compare it with a per-job cap you set. Reject requests above the cap before they reach Sume.
