  90 days), a usage-based Developer plan billed per video minute for indexing
  and analysis, per 1,000 queries for search, per 1,000 tokens for generated
  output, and per-minute / per-1,000-request rates for embeddings, and an
  Enterprise plan with committed-use contracts and custom rate limits.
