    add a 5%/10% purchase bonus. A request that would exceed the available balance is REJECTED before
    the job is created rather than overdrafting.

  music: flat per track (Music 3.0/2.6 = 200, Lyria 3 = 100, Mureka V9 = 60) except sonilo-music, which
    is 4 credits/s with a 10 s minimum
  sound_effects: per second with a 3 s minimum -- sonilo-sfx 5 credits/s from text, sonilo-video-sfx 15
    credits/s of measured input video
