17* Use `/fast` to toggle on fast mode in the Claude Code CLI. The VS Code extension follows your [`fastMode` setting](#toggle-fast-mode) and offers a **Toggle fast mode** command when the selected model supports fast mode.
1818* Fast mode pricing per MTok input/output is \$10/\$50 on Opus 5 and Opus 4.8.
1919* Available to Claude Code users on subscription plans (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise) and on Claude Console. Team and Enterprise organizations need an Owner to enable it first, and Console organizations need access provisioned first, both described under [Requirements](#requirements).
2020* For Claude Code users on subscription plans (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise), fast mode is available via usage credits only and not included in the subscription rate limits.
