Frequently asked questions

How much does a video cost?

MiniMax H3 uses 3–5 API credits per second, depending on resolution and mode. Each credit has a $0.01 list price. Check the quote before generating to see the exact cost.

Do I need a subscription?

No. API generation uses API credits, which you can buy without a subscription. A website subscription does not include unlimited API use.

Will retrying charge me twice?

When you retry the same request with the same Idempotency-Key value, the API returns the existing task instead of charging again. The skill handles this for you.

What if generation fails or takes too long?

Credits are refunded when the provider reports a failed generation. If your wait times out, the video may still be processing: check the existing task instead of submitting it again.
