That count now uses thinking settings worked out for your configured model. Thinking is the model's step-by-step reasoning before it answers. Before, the count always used one fixed thinking budget.\n\n**Why**\n\nToken counts on Bedrock better match the thinking settings your model really uses.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: org\n- Heads-up: no"}
