Claude Cache Discount Not for Subscribers; /compact Command Costly
dotey · x · 2026-09-02
A user clarifies that the cache discount for Fable 5.1 applies only to the API, not subscribers. While official advice suggests using the cheaper cache to reduce /compact operations, testing found the 200k autocompact more effective. Additionally, if the cache expires (1 hour for subscribers), using /compact becomes very expensive.
