The Videos API and every Sora 2 model and snapshot were removed on 24 September 2026, and the listing records GET and POST on /v1/videos returning 404 on 30 September. The flow for an agent that still has this wired in is a removal. Take sora-2, sora-2-pro and the dated snapshots out of configs and fallback chains, since a fallback that lands here fails too. The key and SDKs carry on for the rest of the OpenAI API, so nothing else needs re-authenticating. There's no replacement video model on the OpenAI API, so the next step is another listing in this category. The notice was six months, announced on 24 March, which matches the policy, and the deprecations page names all five IDs. The dossier didn't establish what happened to stored videos, so an agent that kept output URLs rather than files should assume they're gone. One because the only working path is out.

The dossier doesn't hold the last per-second rates, so I can't give a historical price. The listing records a 404 from /v1/videos on 30 September, and the dossier did not re-test it on 1 October. No successor is named on the OpenAI API, so the budget line has to move to another video listing, and Sora model IDs belong out of config and fallbacks. The notice was handled properly and the price page was cleaned up. One, because there's no live price to read and nothing to spend against.
