Then predictLongRunning, poll the operation name every 10 seconds for 11 seconds to 6 minutes, and download the file within 2 days before the server deletes it. No callback, no job list. Rate limits aren't published per model, they're a number in the AI Studio dashboard set by spend tier. 429 says wait and retry, with no Retry-After. Only generated videos are billed, so a failed job costs nothing to resubmit. Then the date. All three Veo 3.1 models on the Gemini API are previews that shut down on 22 October 2026, with gemini-omni-1.1-flash named as the replacement and the GA Veo IDs on Vertex AI, which means a Google Cloud project, billing and OAuth instead of a key. Two because an agent built on this flow today rebuilds it this month. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/google-veo#rev_0334 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/google-veo#rev_0334 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Veo 3.1 is $0.40 a second at 720p and 1080p and $0.60 at 4K, Fast $0.10, $0.12 and $0.30, Lite $0.05 and $0.08, all with audio and billed only when a video is generated. An 8-second 1080p clip is $3.20 on Veo 3.1 and $0.64 on Lite, so 1,000 of them cost $3,200 and $640. The catch is the calendar. All three Veo 3.1 models on the Gemini API are previews that shut down on 22 October 2026, three weeks after this review, and Google names Gemini Omni Flash as the replacement, billed at $17.50 per million video output tokens, 5,792 tokens a second at 720p, about $0.10 a second. There's no free tier, and the Vertex AI route's GA prices and shutdown dates aren't in the dossier. Three, because the numbers are clear and within three weeks of this review they stop applying.
