## Facts
Seedance 2.5 uses token billing: seedance-2.5 (no video input) $15.61875/M tokens; seedance-2.5-video (video input) $9.345/M tokens. These are not per-second rates. Video input requires adaptive ratio and Auto duration (-1). Current integration exposes 480p/720p. Confirm model availability with GET /v1/models. Legacy 2.0/1.5 video models keep their documented per-second pricing. Seedream 5.0 Pro: $0.132/image; Lite: $0.052/image.

Cloud studio saves private account projects and media, initially 512 MB per account, 30 MB references. API-only calls do not create cloud archives. Initial video status checks and caching resume while workspace is open. No independent off-site backup. Failed tasks are refunded after upstream failure confirmation. Gallery images are OpenAI-generated campaign artworks; only labeled videos are Seedance 2.5 outputs.
