Score an ad with words you wrote. lyrics is required and is never written for you: putting words in your song is your decision, not the model's.
The price is $0.002 per second. duration_seconds is an UPPER BOUND, so the quote reserves the ceiling and settlement refunds whatever the model did not use. Ask for 60 seconds, get 41, and pay for 41. The settlement can only come down: a longer output settles at the ceiling you were quoted.
