Why Does the Transcoding Task ID Suddenly Change from a Large Number to a Small One?

After you create a transcoding task, the system returns a task ID, represented by the task_id parameter. This ID starts at 1 and increments sequentially up to 2146483647. Once this maximum limit is reached, the ID resets to 1 to begin a new cycle. Consequently, you may notice that the ID value drops from a very large number back to a small one. As a single cycle typically takes several years to complete, this reset will not affect your service operations.
