Source Intelligence

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.

Cost Tracking

Usage records now say whether cost came from built-in prices, your org's rates, or a guess.

What

Model usage records gained costBasis, one of list, managed or unknown: Claude Code's built-in list prices, your organisation's managed-settings modelPricing rates or multiplier, or neither. When it is unknown, the reported costUSD is a guess based on the default model's rate.

Details
  • Overwritten per request, so it reflects the most recent pricing decision for that model.
  • Absent until this process has priced at least one request for the model; consumers are told to treat absence as list.
