description: >-
  Creatify does not publish fixed numeric per-minute request rate limits for the
  API. In practice, throughput is governed by two things: (1) your subscription's
  monthly credit allowance, which caps how much video/audio you can generate, and
  (2) the asynchronous nature of generation - each create call enqueues a job
  that renders in the background, so callers create a job then poll GET
  /{resource}/{id}/ (or wait for a webhook) rather than blocking. Callers should
  poll on a reasonable interval and back off on 429 responses.
notes: >-
  No explicit numeric request-rate or concurrency limit is documented as of the
  review date. The effective throughput limiter is the credit allowance per plan
  (see plans/creatify-plans-pricing.yml) and background render queue times.
  Verify any concurrency caps for high-volume/Enterprise accounts with Creatify.

responseCodes:
  throttled: 429
limits:
- name: API Request Rate
  scope: account
  metric: requests
  limit: not published
  notes: No fixed numeric per-minute request-rate limit is documented for the Creatify API.
- name: Monthly Credit Allowance
  scope: account
  metric: credits
  limit: per plan
  notes: Generation is capped by the plan's monthly credit allowance (e.g. API Starter 500, API Pro 2000).
- name: Concurrent Render Jobs
  scope: account
  metric: jobs
  limit: not published
  notes: Concurrency of background render jobs is not documented; Enterprise accounts may negotiate higher throughput.
- name: Text-to-Speech Script Length
  scope: request
  metric: characters
  limit: 8000
  notes: The text_to_speech script field is capped at 8000 characters per request.
policies:
- name: Asynchronous Generation
  description: Media endpoints return a job with a status immediately; clients poll GET /{resource}/{id}/ until status is "done" or supply a webhook_url to be notified.
- name: Credit Metering
  description: Throughput is bounded by credits consumed (roughly 5 credits per 30s of video, 1 credit per 30s of audio) rather than by a request-per-second cap.
- name: Backoff Strategy
  description: Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses, and poll job status on a reasonable interval rather than tight-looping.
