The cost to store a video is based only on its duration, not its file size. If the file is within the [30GB max file size limitation](/stream/faq/#is-there-a-limit-to-the-amount-of-videos-i-can-upload), it will be accepted. Be sure to use an upload method like Upload from Link or TUS that handles large files well.
