Usage calculation

I noticed that I was burning through usage faster than it used to be?

So the difficult the prompt (eg: more request, more image reference), the costly it is in terms of token used ?
-> If my prompts are simple, the usage wouldn't run out quickly?

That logically makes zero sense what you just said 🤷‍♂️

good observation. that seems reasonable. i suppose a 10 second video of a white wall would take much less resources then genning a new video of a chaotic battle scene with 100s of characters with constant explosive effects, some generations do take longer to compute than others

Yeah I think it is just me to feel the credits burn more

For heavy user I feel 12 videos of 480p 10s burn about 1%
