## Shorter audio

**A request now takes audio from 1 second long, down from 5 seconds.** Audio under 1 second is rejected with `audio_too_short`, and [`POST /v0/decisions/file/input_tokens`](/audio-decisions/reference/decisions/input-tokens) accepts an `audio_duration_ms` of 1,000 or more. Most questions still give better answers with 5 seconds or more: each [use case](/audio-decisions/docs/use-cases) now shows the shortest audio it holds up on. See [Limits](/audio-decisions/docs/limits#audio).
