7070 * **Bedrock** offers two endpoint types: global endpoints (dynamic routing for maximum availability) and regional endpoints (guaranteed data routing through specific geographic regions).
7171 * **Google Cloud** offers global endpoints and multi-region endpoints (dynamic routing within a geographic area) for these models, and regional endpoints for Claude Sonnet 4.6 and earlier models.
7272
73 Regional and multi-region endpoints include a 10% premium over global endpoints. The Claude API (first-party) is global by default; for first-party data residency options and pricing, see [Data residency pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#data-residency-pricing).

8484
85[Claude Platform on AWS](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-platform-on-aws) bills through AWS Marketplace using Claude Consumption Units (CCUs). Anthropic rates your token usage in USD at standard per-model, per-feature rates, applies any negotiated discount, converts the result to CCUs at $0.01 per CCU, and reports the CCU quantity to AWS Marketplace hourly. Your AWS bill shows a single CCU line item.

220220Claude 4.6 and later models (except Claude Haiku 5.5) and [Claude Mythos Preview](https://anthropic.com/glasswing) include the full [1M token context window](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/context-windows) at standard pricing. (A 900k-token request is billed at the same per-token rate as a 9k-token request.) Prompt caching and batch processing discounts apply at standard rates across the full context window.
221221
222Claude Haiku 5.5 is priced by prompt length: a request whose prompt is over 100,000 tokens pays higher prices. A request's prompt length counts all of its input tokens, including cache reads and cache writes. Each request is priced on its own: a request over the threshold pays the higher prices even when part of its prompt is a cache hit, and earlier requests keep the prices they were billed at. [Model pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#model-pricing) and [Batch processing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#batch-processing) list both sets of prices.

294294When used without these tools, code execution is billed by execution time, tracked separately from token usage:
295295
296* Execution time has a minimum of 5 minutes
297* Each organization receives **1,550 free hours** of usage per month
298* Additional usage beyond 1,550 hours is billed at **$0.05 USD per hour, per container**
299* If files are included in the request, execution time is billed even if the tool is not called, because files are preloaded onto the container

417417### Tokens
418418
419All tokens consumed by a Claude Managed Agents session are billed at the rates shown in [Model pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#model-pricing). [Prompt caching](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#prompt-caching) multipliers apply identically. Web search triggered inside a session incurs the standard $10 per 1,000 searches. On [Claude Platform on AWS](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#claude-platform-on-aws-pricing), session token and runtime charges convert to Claude Consumption Units at the standard rate. [Fast mode](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#fast-mode-pricing) premium pricing applies when an agent's `model.speed` is set to `"fast"`.

421421The [data residency multiplier](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#data-residency-pricing) also applies: when an agent's `model.inference_geo` is pinned to `"us"`, tokens consumed by sessions running that agent are billed at 1.1x the standard rates, the same multiplier that applies to US-only inference on the Messages API.

467467When building agents with Claude:
468468
4691. **Use appropriate models:** Choose Haiku for simple tasks, Sonnet for most production workloads, and Opus for the most complex reasoning
4702. **Implement prompt caching:** Reduce costs for repeated context
4713. **Batch operations:** Use the Batch API for non-time-sensitive tasks
4724. **Monitor usage patterns:** Track token consumption to identify optimization opportunities
