How to remove the daily job limit
The limit of 3 jobs per day applies to free accounts that only have free credits. It no longer applies while you have unused credits from a one-time credit package, or while you have a Pro subscription.
What to do with a file larger than the limit
A paid plan does not raise the 1 GB upload limit. If a video is larger, export the audio track only (for example as MP3 or M4A) and upload that file. Audio-only files are far smaller than video and contain everything transcription needs.
If the audio is still too large, split the recording into parts and upload each part as its own job. Each part is billed by its own duration.
Is there a limit on recording length for uploads?
Uploads are limited by file size, not by a published duration cap. Credits are charged by duration, so a longer recording needs a larger credit balance.
