Caption longer videos

captions.animate used to reject any input longer than 5 minutes. That cap is gone. The real limit was always your plan’s job time budget, and now that is the only bound. You can caption a video as long as it transcribes within that budget, and a clip too long for your plan times out like any other job.

Pro plans get a larger time budget than Free, so they caption proportionally longer videos.

The old cap predated per-plan job budgets and was never a technical limit on the pipeline. Removing it means the bound is the same one every other job type already has, which is simpler to reason about and scales with the plan rather than with a number written into the job.

A clip that exceeds the budget now fails as a timeout with the elapsed time attached, rather than being rejected up front on a length it might have finished within.

Per-plan job time budgets are listed under plan limits. Parameters are unchanged in the captions.animate reference.
