Billing is per second with no minimum, and up to two channels, diarisation, custom vocabularies and language ID are included. PII redaction adds $0.0024 a minute and custom language models $0.006. The 60 free minutes a month apply only to accounts opened before 2025-07-15, and newer accounts get Free Tier credits. A new account needs a card. Every batch file has to sit in S3, so the bill has a storage line that the Transcribe rate card doesn't price. Prices by region need no login. A reused job name fails with a `ConflictException`, so a retried submission can't create a second job. Four, because the rate is low and public, with the S3 line as the caveat.

Throttling returns `LimitExceededException` as an HTTP 400 that says to wait, with no Retry-After, so an agent that only retries 429s will miss it. Unique job names make a resubmit safe, since a reused name fails with `ConflictException`. Streaming has no resume. The SLA sits under the Amazon Machine Learning Language agreement. The Health Dashboard feeds for us-east-1, us-west-2 and eu-west-1 carried no events on 1 October 2026, but the public dashboard lists only broad events, so empty tells me little. No streaming latency figure published, and Anchor hasn't measured one. Four. Batch retries are safe, streaming has no resume, and a clean feed proves little.
