8585[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 USD per CCU, and reports the CCU quantity to AWS Marketplace hourly. Your AWS bill shows a single CCU line item.

9898**CCU:** Claude Consumption Unit. A CCU is a unit of measure used solely for Marketplace Platform invoicing. If Customer accesses the Services through certain Marketplace Platforms (e.g., Claude Platform on AWS), usage will be invoiced in Claude Consumption Units ("CCU") rather than per MTok. One hundred (100) CCU represents $1.00 USD of fees owed for the Services, calculated at the applicable prices on [claude.com/pricing#api](https://claude.com/pricing#api), after application of any discounts.

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 USD 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.

436436Runtime is measured to the millisecond and accrues only while the session's status is `running`. Time spent `idle` (waiting for your next message or a tool confirmation), `rescheduling`, or `terminated` does not count toward runtime.
