Managed-settings cost multiplier can now scale costs up to 10x, not just discount down to 1x

What

The multiplier field in managed settings, used to scale the computed cost Claude Code reports, previously only accepted values from just above 0 up to 1, so it could only apply discounts. It now accepts values up to 10, so organizations can also scale cost upward, for example setting 1.2 to report 120% of the underlying price. A second, newly-added optional multiplier setting uses the same 0-to-10 range.

Why

Organizations that want to mark cost reporting up rather than down, for instance to include overhead, can now do so instead of being limited to discounting.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up multiplier, on pricing. *<sup>1 Cache hits and refreshes on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 are priced at 0.025x the base input price. All other models use the standard 0.1x multiplier.</sup>* about-claude/pricing see the edit
