📖 **MiniMax-H3 billing documentation now clarifies that output video and input reference video each cost \$0.03 per second.**

The previous statement that reference video was free has been corrected. Output is pre-charged when a task is accepted, and the final charge is reconciled against actual usage, with any difference charged or refunded. Up to 9 reference images and reference audio have no extra charge.

For example, 10 seconds of input reference video plus 5 seconds of output video cost **\$0.45** at the standard rate. See [MiniMax-H3 pricing](https://docs.apiyi.com/en/api-capabilities/minimax-h3/overview.md#pricing).
