Production decision checks

Production budget

Seedance (Doubao Video) free credits are for validation. Before launch, record cost per 1K requests, retry-adjusted cost, and a monthly spend cap.

Compatibility check

If you already use the OpenAI SDK, verify Seedance (Doubao Video) base URL, model names, streaming, tool calling, and JSON mode before migration.
