Anthropic rates your token usage in USD at standard per-model, per-feature rates, applies any negotiated discount, converts the result to CCUs at $0.01 per CCU, and reports the CCU quantity to AWS Marketplace hourly. Your AWS bill shows a single CCU line item.++| Concept | Details |+|---|---|+| Billing unit | Claude Consumption Unit (CCU) |+| CCU price | $0.01 per CCU (fixed; discounts apply at token-to-CCU conversion, not to the CCU price) |+| Conversion | Token usage rated in USD at standard per-model, per-feature rates (same as Claude API pricing), then converted to CCUs at $0.01 per CCU |+| Billing cadence | Hourly metering to AWS Marketplace; monthly invoices |+| Payment model | Arrears only (postpaid); no prepaid credits |+| Discounts | Applied as fewer CCUs metered |+| Tax | Pre-tax metering; AWS Marketplace handles tax |+| Cost visibility | Real-time breakdown in the Claude Console (access through the AWS Console); AWS Cost Explorer shows aggregated CCU |++Claude Consumption Units. If Customer accesses the Services through certain Marketplace Platforms (e.g., Claude Platform on AWS), usage will be invoiced in Claude Consumption Units ("CCU") rather than per MTok. A CCU is a unit of measure used solely for Marketplace Platform invoicing. One hundred (100) CCU represents $1.00 USD of fees owed for the Services, calculated at the applicable prices on claude.com/pricing#api, after application of any discounts.++### Inference geography++For Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and later models, using `inference_geo: "us"` applies a 1.1x pricing multiplier. `inference_geo: "global"` (default) uses standard pricing. See Data residency for details.++### Private offers++When you sign up on the AWS Console Claude Platform on AWS service page, the AWS Console looks up any private offer associated with your account and prompts you to accept it in AWS Marketplace.
