DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.246

Model pricing can fall back to the host application

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Cost Tracking

When no pricing table is set, Claude Code can take one from the app it's embedded in.

What

When your settings define no model pricing table, Claude Code now uses a pricing table supplied by the host application it is embedded in, provided no other pricing source is populated.

Details
  • The settings_model_pricing telemetry event gained a host boolean recording which source was used.
  • Host pricing applies only when settings pricing is undefined, not when it is empty.
Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
