The Sora 2 models and Videos API were shut down on September 24, 2026 and are no longer available. There is no one-to-one replacement API. See the [deprecation notice](/api/docs/deprecations#2026-03-24-sora-2-video-generation-models-and-videos-api).


Sora 2 is our new powerful media generation model, generating videos with synced audio.
It can create richly detailed, dynamic clips from natural language or images.

## Rate limits

Rate limits ensure fair and reliable access to the API by placing specific caps on requests, tokens, audio duration, or other usage within a given time period. Your usage tier determines how high these limits are set and automatically increases as you send more requests and spend more on the API.
