YouTube publishes anything above 60 seconds as a regular video rather than a Short. On 2026-09-13 at 13:57, a render for liczenie-004 came in at 60.1 seconds against a limit of 59 seconds, and the orqestra.kids_episode task failed with a RuntimeError.
The topic was left in the plan rather than dropped. The next daily run will attempt it again. The alert text notes that if it fails a second time on the same topic, the problem is likely in the topic or the render gate, not in the model.
The record does not say why the render exceeded the limit. The facts record only the output duration and the failure.
The orqestra.kids_episode task fires one alert per task name per hour; the rest of the detail is in the worker log.
If you are generating video for YouTube Shorts, verify the output duration before the upload step, because anything above 60 seconds loses Shorts placement entirely.
