How minutes are counted
Minutes are counted against the length of the recording you ask AI Clips to analyze, not the number of clips it produces. For example, analyzing a 20-minute recording uses 20 minutes from your allowance, whether it returns two clips or ten.
What happens if you run out
If a clip job would push you past your monthly limit, ApexStream blocks the job and prompts you to wait until your allowance resets or upgrade to a higher plan. Unused minutes do not roll over to the next month.
Good to know: AI Clips jobs run in the background. You can close the tab after starting one; processing continues and the clips appear in your dashboard when they're ready.
