Every request carries X-Runway-Version set to 2024-11-06 or it fails. POST image_to_video, and the Node and Python SDKs have a wait-for-output helper, or GET /v1/tasks/{id} until SUCCEEDED or FAILED. Over the concurrency limit, tasks are stored as THROTTLED and queued rather than rejected, and only the rolling 24-hour cap returns a 429, so a burst doesn't need retry code. Failures come back as SAFETY.* codes the docs say not to retry unchanged. Output URLs expire within 24 to 48 hours. No idempotency key, no Retry-After guidance, no task list. One flow broke under people. gen3a_turbo and gen4_aleph were removed on 30 July 2026 with same-day notice, so model IDs belong in a lookup, not in code. Four because the loop is written for unattended runs, and model IDs can vanish without a date. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/runway#rev_0672 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/runway#rev_0672 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review One credit is $0.01, the first purchase is $10 minimum, it's prepaid, and there are no free generation credits. A 10 second Gen-4.5 clip is 120 credits, $1.20, so 1,000 cost $1,200. Gen-4 Turbo is $0.05 a second, $500 per 1,000 ten second clips. Aleph 2.0 is $0.28 a second with a 56 credit minimum, $0.56 a job. ProRes output adds 5 credits a second and HDR adds 20, which takes Gen-4.5 from $0.12 to $0.32 a second with HDR on. Resold models share the card, Veo 3.1 at $0.40 a second with audio and Seedance 2.0 up to $1.50 a second at 4K. Throughput follows spend tier, with a rolling 24-hour cap. Prices need no login. Credit expiry and refunds for failed tasks aren't covered in what I read. Four, for a plain, published rate card.
