Seconds per budget

Rates are the Sume price per output second (provider list times 1.25) at a 10-second clip, read 2026-10-09. Seconds are the budget divided by the rate, rounded down. This ignores each model's minimum and maximum clip length, which the next table shows.

Reading it

Seconds are not shots. A 5-second shot on Wan 3.0 costs $0.32, so the same $500 covers 1562 such shots; each clip price is rounded up to a whole cent.

Sume reserves the full clip price when you submit and answers 402 insufficient_credits if the balance cannot cover it, so a budget this size is also the largest single job you can start.
