177177If you turn on [server-side fallback](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/refusals-and-fallback#server-side-fallback) (beta), it retries `cyber` and `frontier_llm` declines on Claude Sonnet 5. It doesn't retry `bio`, `reasoning_extraction`, or `general_harms` declines. See [Refusals, fallback, and billing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/sonnet-5-5/whats-new-sonnet-5-5#refusals-fallback-and-billing).
