# FAQ ### How much does generating a podcast cost? 10 credits, regardless of the final duration of the generated podcast. The higher your plan is, the cheaper credits are. ### How many requests can I run? As many as your plan and throughput allow. We already support customers generating more than 1,000 requests per day, and we can provision custom limits when needed. ### How do I track a request after submission? Save the returned `request_id` or `requestId`, then poll the matching status endpoint until the job reaches `100`. The shared guide at [Track Requests & Status Codes](/quick-start/tools/track-requests.md) covers the common status values, request ID formats, and error fields. ### My request is stuck with status 0 `0` usually means the request was accepted and is still queued. Some endpoints move through intermediate values such as `5`, `80`, or `90` before they finish at `100`. For the shared async flow, see [Track Requests & Status Codes](/quick-start/tools/track-requests.md). If you have generated a high volume of requests recently for your current subscription tier, queue times can increase. If you need more predictable throughput, contact support. ### How do I use private PDFs or other non-public files? Upload the file first, keep the returned file ID, and use that ID in flows that accept `type: "file"`. Start with [Upload Private Files](/quick-start/tools/upload-files.md). ### Do you offer a free trial? No. Generating content consumes paid infrastructure, so access is limited to active subscriptions. ### Can I get higher limits? Yes. We offer custom plans for higher throughput, larger limits, and production-scale usage. Contact `hello@autocontentapi.com`. ### How can I get started? After you choose a subscription, you will receive your API key. You can then access [the app](https://app.autocontentapi.com/) and start generating immediately, or jump into the [Quick Start](/quick-start.md). ### Do credits roll over to the next month? No. Credits need to be used during the current month. Some of the AI services we use charge us based on the capacity we book, rather than direct usage. ### Which languages are supported? AutoContent supports more than 70 languages. Use the exact strings listed on the [Languages](/languages.md) page when setting language fields. ### Can I use my own voice? Yes. You can clone your own voice and reuse it across supported workflows. Start with [Clone a Voice](/quick-start/tools/clone-voice.md). ### Do you support video, documents, and other outputs besides podcasts? Yes. In addition to podcasts, the platform supports explainer videos, video shorts, infographics, quizzes, slide decks, briefing documents, transcripts, deep research, and reusable brand projects. Browse the [Quick Start](/quick-start.md) page for the current set of workflows. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
