# Processing Times

> Observed median end-to-end processing times for Magic Hour API endpoints.

These values cover the **rolling 30 days ending July 20, 2026**. Customer-observed end-to-end processing time, including queueing.

<Warning>
  Processing time varies with queue load, input duration, resolution, and model complexity. These
  values describe observed customer traffic and are not an SLA. Build timeout handling into every
  integration.
</Warning>

**p50 (median)** means half of completed jobs finished within this time.

## Integration guidance

* Use webhooks for long-running jobs instead of aggressive polling.
* If polling, use the interval recommended in the integration guide and apply exponential backoff.
* Set timeouts based on your product's tolerance for delayed jobs.
* Treat every latency figure as directional, not guaranteed.
