Brief
Claude Code v2.1.268 adds gateway pricing setting for consistent cost tracking
Claude Code v2.1.268 was released with a new gateway pricing setting. The setting lets signed-in clients receive the same rates through managed settings, so /cost and telemetry match the spend meter.
The new gateway pricing setting, configured in gateway.yaml, ensures that signed-in Claude Code clients receive the same rates through managed settings. This means /cost and telemetry now match the spend meter, so administrators can track costs consistently across clients. The release also includes fixes for WebFetch hanging indefinitely on servers that keep responses open, now failing after 300 seconds, and for sustained high CPU usage in long-running idle sessions.

Stated by github.com
- Added to the Claude apps gateway: with pricing: set in gateway.yaml, signed-in Claude Code clients receive the same rates through managed settings, so /cost and telemetry match the spend meter.
- Fixed WebFetch hanging indefinitely on a server that keeps the response open without finishing; a fetch now fails after 300 seconds.
- Fixed sustained high CPU usage: a busy loop in long-running idle sessions no longer pins a CPU core, and rapid terminal focus reports during a session recap no longer keep the CPU high.
