title: "Changes to Upscale a previously generated video to twice its resolution (2x). Pass the video `url` you received from `createVideo`, `createVideoFromReferences`, or `editVideo` - it must be a video you generated within the last 7 days; arbitrary external videos are not accepted. Only videos below 960x960 pixels can be upscaled (larger sources are rejected). Synchronous until September 10, 2026: the call blocks until upscaling finishes and returns the new video URL and its duration in seconds. Billed per second of video, independent of model, charged only on success. Pass an optional `request_id` to tag the result so you can locate it later via `GET /assets/videos/results`. Related tools: `createVideo` for image-to-video, `editVideo` to modify a generated video. Requires an API key (user scope). Async is the intended integration pattern: pass `async: true` and the call returns 202 with a job id - poll `GET /assets/jobs/{id}` (`getApiJob` in MCP), honouring poll_after_ms or long-polling with wait=30, until status is succeeded, whose result field is exactly the response documented for this operation. Synchronous responses are deprecated: they remain the default until September 10, 2026, after which requests default to async and return 202 with a job id; set `async: false` explicitly to keep synchronous behavior during and after the transition. Synchronous calls run on the same queue: the response carries an X-Ludo-Job-Id header, and a job still running after 15 minutes comes back as 202 with the job instead of an error. Each account may have up to 50 generations queued or running at once via the API; a request beyond that returns 429 (code PENDING_JOBS_LIMIT)."
