Unclear It is not stated where transcriptCacheTtl is set.

What

The prompt cache is a stored copy of the conversation that the model can reuse more cheaply for a while. Two changes:

  • When transcriptCacheTtl is 5m and the default would be 1 hour, Claude Code asks for the cache to be kept for 5 minutes instead.
  • In auto mode, the rule lists used to classify requests are changed before use when a certain check is on.
Why

A shorter cache time can cost less.
