As with Opus 4.6, using the beta 1M context window incurs a 2x input cost and 1.5x output cost when going over >200K tokens: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing

Opus 4.6 in Claude Code has been absolutely lousy with solving problems within its current context limit so if Sonnet 4.6 is able to do long-context problems (which would be roughly the same price of base Opus 4.6), then that may actually be a game changer.

Can you share your prompts and problems?

		You cut out the "within its current context limit" phrase. It solves the problems, just often with 1% or 0% context limit left and it makes me sweat.
