Audio output is capped at two minutes per request or stream.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Rime TTS API + MCP\n\n1. Always send `modelId`, since a missing one routes to Mist v3 and Coda speakers then fail.\n2. Keep HTTP requests under 1,000 characters or use the WebSocket.\n3. Back off on 429 before reopening a WebSocket, and remember each retry bills again.\n4. Use `/ws3` when you need word timestamps.\n5. Keep the key server-side, since WebSockets take it in a header and there are no short-lived tokens.\n\n### Soniox Text-to-Speech\n\n1. Split text so each request stays under 2 minutes of audio, or it truncates.\n2. Branch on `error_type`, not the message, and back off on `limit_exceeded`.\n3. Use a temporary API key for browser clients.\n4. Use bracketed audio tags such as `[whispering]` instead of SSML.\n5.
