Mid-stream refusals were already billed. Refusals billed under this change are charged like any other request, at the rates of the model that ran it.

Code written for Claude Sonnet 5 can break on Claude Sonnet 5.5 in five ways. To turn off up-front thinking, send thinking: {"type": "between_tools"} instead of "disabled", at high effort or below. Forced tool use (tool_choice types any and tool) returns a 400 error. Thinking blocks are tied to the model and the conversation.
Thinking blocks that Claude Sonnet 5.5 produces work only in the account that produced them, or in an account
Thinking blocks that Claude Sonnet 5.5 produces work only in the account that produced them, or in an account linked to it. When another account sends one of these blocks, the API drops the block before the model sees it, and the request succeeds. Blocks from earlier models aren't affected. See Preserved thinking.
