9090 
91Claude Opus 5.5 ships with safety classifiers, and everything in [Refusals and fallback](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/refusals-and-fallback) applies. A declined request returns HTTP 200 with `stop_reason: "refusal"` and a [`stop_details`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/refusals-and-fallback#refusal-response) object naming the policy area, so handle refusals and configure fallback: retry on another model with [server-side fallback](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/refusals-and-fallback#server-side-fallback) (`fallbacks: "default"`, in beta, retries on the model Anthropic recommends for that category), the [SDK middleware](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/refusals-and-fallback#client-side-fallback), or your own retry.

Whether a refusal that arrives before any output is billed depends on its refusal category, and it counts against your rate limits either way; see [How refusals are billed](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/refusals-and-fallback#how-refusals-are-billed).
