The Claude apps gateway spend meter stops undercounting cache writes and server tools. The gateway meter understated two types of usage, making meter-based limits looser than intended. It now prices 1-hour cache writes at their own rate and includes later model-call input on streamed turns using a server tool such as web search.
Channel: tagged-release (on stable from 2026-10-08). Half: defect. Date: 2026-09-30 (2.1.286).
Operator consequence: Re-check limit thresholds and reconcile older gateway totals against billing records. A higher reported total can be corrected accounting rather than greater usage. The receipt establishes a meter fix, not a changed API invoice.
