Every limit Rendobar enforces, by plan. Pulled from `PLAN_LIMITS` in the API. For plan prices and credit packs, see [pricing](https://rendobar.com/pricing/).

## Plan limits

|                       | Free           | Pro (\$9/mo)    |
| --------------------- | -------------- | --------------- |
| Signup credits        | \$5 (one-time) | -               |
| Monthly credits       | -              | \$5/mo included |
| Credit-purchase bonus | -              | +20%            |
| Concurrent jobs       | 1              | 25              |
| API requests / min    | 30             | 300             |
| Max input file        | 100 MB         | 2 GB            |
| Max batch size        | 10             | 100             |
| Max job timeout       | 5 min          | 15 min          |
| Output retention      | 7 days         | 30 days         |
| Total R2 storage      | 1 GB           | 50 GB           |
| Priority queue        | No             | Yes             |

`ffmpeg`, MCP, and webhooks are on both plans.

## Output URLs

* **Signed download URL** (`output.file.url`) is valid for **1 hour**. Re-fetch via `GET /jobs/{id}` for a fresh URL.
* **Output retention**: 7 days (Free) or 30 days (Pro). After that, R2 deletes the file; the job record stays but the file URLs return 404.
* **Storage quota** caps total bytes across all your outputs. Delete old outputs or upgrade if you hit it.
* **No separate per-output size limit**. Bounded by input cap and storage quota.

## Credit packs

$10 / $25 / $50 / $100 (or custom, \$10 minimum). Pro adds +20% to every purchase. Credits never expire. Failed jobs are always refunded.

## API response limits

| Limit             | Value  |
| ----------------- | ------ |
| Default page size | 50     |
| Max page size     | 100    |
| Max request body  | 100 MB |

## File formats

Rendobar accepts every FFmpeg-compatible input format. Default outputs by media type:

| Input | Default output |
| ----- | -------------- |
| Video | MP4 (H.264)    |
| Audio | MP3            |
| Image | PNG            |

For `ffmpeg`, the output format is inferred from the trailing filename (`output.mp4` → MP4). Override with `params.outputFormat`.
