Anthropic cut Sonnet 5.5 cache-read pricing by 50%, lowering the rate to $0.10 per million tokens.

The price reduction applies specifically to cache reads. Anthropic lowered the Sonnet 5.5 cache-read rate by 50%, to $0.10 per million tokens, according to the supplied messages. This is not a stated 50% reduction in all Sonnet input, output, or total request charges.

Anthropic also provided a workload-cost estimate. The company said the change could reduce the cost of most of its agent tasks by approximately 20%. That is an attributed company estimate, not a universal savings rate or a measured result for every customer workload.

The pricing update accompanied the Haiku 5.5 launch and account-related changes. A separate message says new monthly application programming interface (API) credits would be introduced for all Max and Team users. The supplied sources do not give those credit amounts, eligibility details beyond the named plans, or a rollout schedule.
