2121Extended thinking in manual mode gives you direct control over how much Claude thinks. You set a thinking token budget on each request with `thinking: {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N}`, and Claude thinks against that budget before it starts its final answer. Manual mode remains useful when your workload requires predictable latency or precise control over thinking costs. This page covers how to set and tune the budget, how manual mode interacts with interleaved thinking and prompt caching, and how to migrate to adaptive thinking.
