description: >-
  Templated meters usage primarily through monthly render credits tied to the
  account subscription plan rather than published per-minute request limits.
  Images consume 1 credit, PDFs 1 credit per page, and video credit cost is
  derived from resolution, frame rate, and duration. Synchronous renders
  complete in roughly 2 seconds; high-volume workloads can use asynchronous
  rendering with webhook callbacks. Specific per-minute request rate limits
  are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify any per-minute or concurrency limits and current monthly credit
  allotments in the Templated dashboard and documentation on reconciliation;
  credit allotments scale with the Starter, Scale, and Enterprise plans.
