ByteDance is retiring Seedance 1.5 Pro. This model will be removed from NightCafe on November 11, 2026.

This is an external change made by ByteDance and is beyond our control. We're sorry to see this model go.

What you'll see in NightCafe

• Seedance 1.5 Pro currently shows a Gone Soon label in the video model picker.
• You can keep using it until November 11, 2026.
• After that date, the model will be unavailable for new video creations. Existing creations you already made with it will still be in your account.
• Studio now starts new videos on PixVerse V6 by default. You can still switch back to Seedance 1.5 Pro until the cutoff.
