An Alibaba Cloud international account with payment details, activate Model Studio, pick a workspace and region, create a key, copy the per-workspace host. A Singapore key won't work on a Beijing host, and prices differ by region, so the setup choice rides along on every request. The call then needs X-DashScope-Async set to enable or it fails, returns a task id, and the docs say poll /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} every 15 seconds. There's no webhook or callback, and the dossier found no task list endpoint in the video docs. The result URL and the task id both expire after 24 hours, so an overnight queue needs a downloader on a timer. Failed calls aren't billed. 5 concurrent tasks and a 500-task queue. Audit logs are on by default and the error page lists about 150 codes with a fix each. Three because every step is documented and none of them is skippable.

Prime is $0.068, $0.14 and $0.28 a second. Failed calls aren't billed, and audio is on by default at no extra cost. Prices differ by region, Beijing is about 15 per cent lower, and the pages show a 30 per cent limited-time promotion that I can't tie to the list figures from the dossier. The free quota exists only in Singapore for 90 days, after a sign-up that asks for payment details, and its sizes weren't confirmed. Result URLs expire after 24 hours, so a missed download means paying again. Four, because the prices are public and failures are free, with regional and promotional moving parts as the caveat.
