Hi @karthik.rt,

Thanks for reaching out about this, and happy to help.

To that end, I was able to check our logs for the recording associated with this meeting, and I can see that the recording was paused 12 minutes into the meeting (81039724788). When a recording is paused mid-meeting, the final recording returned by the API will only return what was captured prior to the pausing of the recording.

I hope this helps to clarify, but let me know if you still have questions.

Thanks,  
Will
