Effort cost labels sit behind a remote flag that falls back to off in this build.
The thinking-effort picker gains a description line under each level: the default level is labelled as the default, and the others show an estimated multiple of the default's cost taken from the model's cost index. When shown it replaces the warning about overthinking at the top level. It is behind the remote flag tengu_marbled_teal, which falls back to off in this build, so whether you see it is decided by server config.
The default effort for this model
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
tengu_marbled_teal Off by default, switched on for this accountThe shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.
Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.224. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you
A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
