Billable Block

A request that Anthropic's safeguards decline before Claude produces any output but that is still charged at the model's normal rates.

Ask Melo about this← all terms

Anthropic resumed charging for these on September 24, 2026 in categories with low false positive rates. Its API docs list bio, frontier_llm and reasoning_extraction as billed before any output, while cyber and general_harms refusals stay free. Fallback credit offsets the cost of retrying on another model.
