Method and limits
How was Sora API usage billed?
OpenAI published Sora video generation prices per generated second. These historical rates do not represent a route that is available to buy now.
Did Sora API pricing include audio?
Yes. The Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro API descriptions included synchronized audio; disabling audio did not lower the listed historical rate.
Is ChatGPT Pro an API substitute?
No. A ChatGPT subscription is a manual consumer product with separate limits and is not ranked as automated Sora API capacity.
