Max ($199.99/mo) gives 20,000 credits plus UNLIMITED video generation on Hailuo 1.0/2.0/2.3 models in Relax Mode even after credits are exhausted. Relax Mode = slower queue; priority generation still uses credits.
Break-even vs API: at the cheapest verified API rate ($0.027/s for Hailuo 2.3 on PiAPI), $199.99 equals ~7,490s ≈ 749 clips of 10s. Generate more than that per month and this unlimited plan wins; generate less and the API is cheaper.
