What does the video duration limit mean on each plan?

Context
Customers often have questions about the video duration limits mentioned in subscription plans, such as "Generate videos up to 5 minutes long" on the Creator plan. They want to understand whether this limit applies to individual videos or represents a total allowance across all videos combined.
Answer
The video duration limit refers to the maximum length of each individual video you can generate, not a total allowance across all videos.
Here's how the duration limits work across different plans:
Free tier: Up to 20 seconds per video
Hobbyist plan: Up to 1 minute per video
Creator plan: Up to 5 minutes per video
Growth plan: Up to 10 minutes per video
Scale plan: Up to 30 minutes per video
Key points to remember:
On the free tier you can create up to 3 lipsync videos a month (plus 10 TTS generations) each within the free tier's duration limit
On any paid tier you can create as many videos as you want within your plan's duration limit - there is no daily cap on video creation
Your throughput is limited by concurrency (how many videos can generate simultaneously), not by daily maximums. Concurrency limits are: Hobbyist 1, Creator 3, Growth 6, Scale 15
Each video is limited by the maximum duration of your plan
Usage for all paid tiers is charged separately based on the number of frames processed
If you need longer videos, you can either upgrade to a higher plan or split your content into smaller chunks and stitch them together afterward
For example, on the Creator plan, you could create five 1-minute videos, ten 30-second videos, or any number of videos as long as each individual video doesn't exceed 5 minutes in length.
