98**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.

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. The [model pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#model-pricing) and [batch processing pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#batch-processing) sections list both sets of prices.

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 multipliers](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#prompt-caching) apply identically. Web search triggered inside a session incurs the standard $10 USD per 1,000 searches. On Claude Platform on AWS, session token and runtime charges convert to Claude Consumption Units at the standard rate (see [Claude Platform on AWS pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#claude-platform-on-aws-pricing)). [Fast mode premium pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#fast-mode-pricing) applies when an agent's `model.speed` is set to `"fast"`.

421The [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.

436Runtime 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.

518518### How is token usage calculated?
519519
520Tokens are pieces of text that models process. How many tokens the same text produces depends on the model's tokenizer, the language, and the type of content. Claude 4.7 and later models and Claude Mythos Preview use a newer tokenizer that produces approximately 30 percent more tokens for the same text than earlier models. To see how many tokens a request uses on a specific model, count it with [token counting](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/token-counting) and that model's ID.
