An edit, rather than an ending
Nothing published here describes a date, so access ends the way it ends on most pages in this register: a line is edited out of the credit conversion table. That carries no date, no notice and nothing distinguishing it from a routine price revision. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-22; no maker pays to be listed.
| What the page is asked | What Runway publishes | What that leaves open |
|---|---|---|
| Can access end before a date | There is no published date either way | So the question becomes how an edit arrives |
| What would signal it | A name leaving the conversion table | Visible only by comparing two readings |
| Is a rate change distinguishable | Not on the page itself | Both appear as a different table |
| Is warning described anywhere | Nothing published about the table changing | Recorded in the notice period column too |
Inclusion rule. A cell is filled from a published sentence about access ending other than on a stated date. A reader's estimate of how fast a menu could change does not fill one. Order. The absence of a date first, then what an edit looks like.
1An edit is the ordinary mechanism in this register
Twelve applications here publish no date of their own, so for most of this market a model becomes unavailable because somebody changed a page. This entry is worth reading in the column because its page is unusually detailed, which makes the edit unusually visible.
Visible still means visible afterwards. A reader comparing two readings can prove a line left; nobody can see it coming.
2Credits put a layer between the customer and the model
Because the unit sold is a credit, a change to what a credit buys and a change to which models exist look similar. The abstraction is convenient commercially and it blurs exactly the distinction this column cares about.
A production tracking a model here has to record the conversion rate as well as the name. Either one moving breaks a plan built on the other, and neither movement is announced.
3Licensed rows can end for reasons this company did not choose
Several lines on the table are made elsewhere. When their makers retire a version, the edit here is a consequence rather than a decision, and nothing on the page says so.
That is why the register keeps maker dates on the calendar and entry menus on the entry pages. The two layers move on different schedules and only one of them ever publishes a date.

4Production that outlasts a model
Model end dates touch “Runway”; SceneMixer's guides describe how its pipeline treats the models it runs:
Typically 60–120 seconds, always 9:16 vertical, ending on a hook. SceneMixer's episode outlines are generated with that pacing, and setting a project to 9:16 makes every segment vertical (the default is 16:9).
