Largest single AI video job each Sume model allows, by price
The most one Sume video job can reserve ranges from $1.13 on H3 to $42.65 on Seedance 2.5 at 30 seconds and 1080p. Eleven rows.

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.
Ceiling by row
| Row | Longest at top tier | Billable total |
|---|---|---|
| seedance-2.5 | 30 s, 1080p | $42.65 |
| higgsfield-genjutsu | 30 s, 720p | $25.54 |
| h3-max-recast | 30 s, 1080p | $16.88 |
| seedance-2 | 15 s, 1080p | $12.76 |
| wan-3.0 | 30 s, 1080p | $7.50 |
| seedance-2-fast | 15 s, 720p | $4.54 |
| gemini-omni-flash-1.1 | 10 s, 4K | $3.75 |
| kling-3 | 15 s, audio on | $3.15 |
| minimax-h3-max | 15 s, 1080p | $3.00 |
| seedance-2-mini | 15 s, 720p | $2.84 |
| minimax-h3 | 15 s, 768p | $1.13 |
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.
