We are extending Unlimited access for eligible legacy Unlimited subscriptions through November 30th, 2026. For more information, see Unlimited plan is switching to Max
Introduction
The Unlimited plan allows you to create infinite generative videos and images at a relaxed rate in Unlimited Mode, a generation mode that doesn’t use credits.
Runway balances the use of Unlimited Mode so that it is always available in some capacity to every Unlimited plan subscriber. This means sometimes generations may take longer, and the number of simultaneous generations is limited. Any additional delays or limits vary based on various factors, like overall usage across our services.
Unlimited Mode is available across all models on the Unlimited plan, including third-party models, with the exception of Veo 3 and Veo 3.1, which require credits. The plan also includes 2250 credits for tools that don't support Explore Mode. Credits Mode is faster and has much higher limits
You also have the option to buy additional credits in case you need extra for tools that do not grant Explore Mode access or would like to generate faster in Credits Mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share my Unlimited plan with multiple people?
Sharing your account credentials with others violates our Terms of Use and may result in your account being terminated.
How do I use Explore Mode or switch to Credits Mode?
Unlimited Mode is the default generation mode on the Unlimited plan. You can use the switcher in the top right corner of generative video tools to switch to Credits Mode.
If you do not see the option to switch to Explore Mode, it’s likely because you’re not in a generative session that supports this generation mode or do not have an Unlimited subscription.
Can I use Explore Mode to create infinite generations with third party models?
Yes. All third-party models are available in Unlimited Mode on the Unlimited plan, with the exception of Veo 3 and Veo 3.1 models.
Why is the Generate button disabled when trying to create in Explore Mode?
This typically indicates that you’ve reached your current maximum of concurrent generations based on system usage, and you’ll need to wait for a generation to complete before starting another generation. You can hover over the button to confirm the reasoning for it being disabled.
If you need to generate quickly and without concurrency limitations, you can switch to Credits Mode at any time.
Can I generate videos in unlimited durations in Explore Mode?
No, all plans can only generate videos in the supported durations for each tool. However, you will be able to generate infinite videos in the supported durations.
Can I generate videos in a higher quality in Explore Mode?
Unlimited Mode does not add additional features or generation options. If the model you’re using offers Upscale, you can use those features while in Unlimited Mode. Enhancing a draft is not available in Unlimited Mode and requires Credits Mode.
Can I use Unlimited Mode in Workflows?
Yes, supported Media Model nodes have an infinity symbol (∞) to indicate Explore Mode support. Enable this switch to generate with the node in Explore Mode.
Which models require credits?
Veo 3 and Veo 3.1 video generation models are not available in Explore Mode. Please switch to Credits Mode to generate with these models.
