What does a H3 · Reference to Video render cost?

Is the same Seedance key valid for H3 · Reference to Video?
Yes — H3 · Reference to Video runs on the same account, key and wallet as Seedance. Each endpoint is enabled individually, so verify the route before you depend on it.

Video rendering is asynchronous: queued and running are normal. Keep polling until the job succeeds, fails or asks for review, and never resubmit the same Idempotency-Key expecting a second render.
