fix(server): Claude 1-hour cache writes are priced at the 1-hour rate - #35423
Usage priced every Claude cache write at the 5-minute rate because the Claude transcript parser dropped usage.cache_creation's 5m/1h split and the rate reader ignored LiteLLM's cache_creation_input_token_cost_above_1hr. Fix: UsageRecord gains an optional cacheCreation1hTokens (a subset of totals.cacheCreationTokens). The Claude parser fills it from cache_creation.ephemeral_1h_input_tokens for executor and advisor records. TokenRates gains cacheCreation1hCostPerToken, read from cache_creation_input_token_cost_above_1hr with the same suffix handling for speed and context tiers; it falls back to the 5-minute write rate when absent, so models without it price as before. It is scaled for fast speed and compared when merging alias rates. User price overrides use their write rate for both TTLs. costByCategory bills min(1h, total) at the 1-hour rate and the remainder at the 5-minute rate. mergeUsageCopies keeps the larger 1h count. The scan cache serializes the count as an optional trailing column, with null as a placeholder for unresolvedServiceTierTurnId, and moves to v13 (file usage-scan-cache-v13.json, v12 added to the legacy names) so cached Claude entries re-parse once and pick up the split. No new regex or parser; the only new input handling is an object field read via tokenCount, which is O(1). No user-visible change beyond the corrected Claude cost.
On origin/main f03db4f: wrote a synthetic Claude Code transcript (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/claude, projects/-tmp-demo/s1.jsonl) with one assistant record for claude-opus-4-5-20251101 whose usage is cache_creation_input_tokens=1,000,000 with cache_creation.ephemeral_1h_input_tokens=1,000,000 and ephemeral_5m_input_tokens=0, and all other token counts 0. Started T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=... vp run dev, paired a browser and opened Usage > Cost > 30 days. Claude Code showed $6.25 for 1M tokens, with the cache write billed at $6.25, which is the 5-minute rate (cache_creation_input_token_cost=6.25e-06). The current LiteLLM entry has cache_creation_input_token_cost_above_1hr=1e-05, so the correct figure is $10.00. The added test on factory/repro-21010 fails on main with 'expected 6.25 to be close to 8.5' for a 400K 5-minute / 600K 1-hour split.
Evidence
Seed one synthetic Claude Opus 4.5 record with 1M cache-write tokens, all using the 1-hour TTL, and zero other tokens. In the real web client, open Usage > Cost > 30 days and select Claude Code. Both sides use fresh databases, Chromium, light theme, and a 1280x800 viewport.

Not shown:
Mixed-TTL pricing, advisor records, missing-rate fallback, and existing scan-cache invalidation were not visually exercised; this proof covers the reported 1M executor cache-write reproduction.
Tests
Before the fix, vp test run src/provider/Drivers/claudeUsage.test.ts (apps/server): 1 failed ('expected 6.25 to be close to 8.5'). After: vp test run src/provider/Drivers/claudeUsage.test.ts src/usage/: 9 files, 175 tests pass. The advisor fixture now has a 5m/1h split, the scan-cache round trip includes cacheCreation1hTokens, and the legacy re-parse test covers v12. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (27 packages) and tests (6 files, 101 tests) pass.
Not in this change
User price overrides (UsageModelPriceOverride) have no separate 1-hour cache write price; overrides bill both TTLs at their single write rate.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Fails on main: the cache_creation TTL split is dropped, so one-hour
writes are charged at the five-minute rate (Refs #21010).
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Usage read only cache_creation_input_tokens from Claude transcripts and only
the 5-minute cache write rate from LiteLLM, so writes Claude Code made with
the 1-hour TTL were understated (1M on Opus 4.5 showed $6.25, not $10).
Claude records (executor and advisor) now carry the
cache_creation.ephemeral_1h_input_tokens count, rates read
cache_creation_input_token_cost_above_1hr (falling back to the 5-minute rate),
and pricing charges that part of the cache writes at the 1-hour rate. The
scan cache stores the count and moves to v13 so cached Claude entries
re-parse once to pick it up.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Claude usage summaries now price 1-hour cache writes at their published rate and preserve that detail in the scan cache. The change affects reported cost estimates, not actual provider charges or product defaults.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Claude usage records now retain one-hour cache-write token counts. Pricing applies a separate one-hour rate to those tokens. Usage-copy merging and scan-cache storage preserve the count.

Summary
Usage record contract and extraction packages/provider-core/src/server/usage.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/claudeUsage.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/claudeUsage.test.ts
UsageRecord adds an optional one-hour cache-write token count. Claude executor and advisor records include the count when it is positive.
Rate parsing and overrides include a one-hour cache-write rate and its fallbacks. Pricing applies that rate to the one-hour portion, capped at total cache-creation tokens, and applies the standard cache-write rate to the remainder.
Aggregation and scan-cache persistence apps/server/src/usage/usageAggregation.ts, apps/server/src/usage/usageScanCache.ts, apps/server/src/usage/usageScanCache.test.ts, apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.test.ts
Usage-copy merging retains the greater one-hour token count. Scan-cache version 13 serializes and restores the count; Claude entries from earlier versions are marked legacy and require a full reparse.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 4af2c
One-hour cache-write costs can be slightly understated for priority, ultrafast, or context-tier entries that publish a write rate but no one-hour rate. The main pricing change works as intended, so the risk is low and can be fixed in a small follow-up.

Explanation
Issue #21010 is the only active direct target. Its coding requirements are: (1) price usage.cache_creation.ephemeral_1h_input_tokens at cache_creation_input_token_cost_above_1hr; (2) price the remainder of cache_creation_input_tokens at cache_creation_input_token_cost; (3) fall back to the 5-minute rate when the 1-hour rate is missing; (4) keep current behavior for records without a cache_creation breakdown; (5) keep total token counts unchanged. The PR covers each requirement. claudeUsage.ts reads ephemeral_1h_input_tokens for executor and advisor records and sets cacheCreation1hTokens only for positive values, so records without a breakdown are unchanged. usagePricing.ts adds cacheCreation1hCostPerToken from cache_creation_input_token_cost_above_1hr, falls back to the 5-minute write rate when absent, and costByCategory bills min(1h, total) at the 1-hour rate and the remainder at the 5-minute rate. The PR keeps totals.cacheCreationTokens unchanged; cacheCreation1hTokens is a subset field. The tests include a 400K 5m / 600K 1h case expecting $8.50 and a fixture with a 5m/1h split. Evidence was assessed from the supplied PR summary and per-file change summaries. No source hunks were inspected directly, so the test results are taken from the PR description.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Every changed area supports the 1-hour cache-write objective. Changes include: the UsageRecord optional field in packages/provider-core (the data contract); the Claude parser in claudeUsage.ts (input source); TokenRates and PricedRecord plus speed scaling and alias-rate comparison in usagePricing.ts (pricing); mergeUsageCopies in usageAggregation.ts (keeps the 1h count when merging duplicates); the scan cache v12 to v13 bump and serialization in usageScanCache.ts (required so cached Claude entries re-parse and pick up the split); and the related test updates. The PR states that user price overrides keep their single write rate for both TTLs, which the linked issue does not require to change. No unrelated refactor, feature, or configuration change appears in the summaries. The cache version bump is a direct consequence of the new persisted field. The evidence section of the PR description is documentation and does not affect code scope.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template closely. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and it links the issue #21010. The Problem section explains the 5-minute rate being applied to 1-hour cache writes, and the Change section explains the parser, rate reader, merge, and scan-cache updates. The Scope section links the issue and explains the bug fix. The Verification section lists focused tests with observed results, a before/after reproduction with screenshots, and a note on what was not visually checked. The title is not part of the provided description, so its conventional commit format cannot be assessed. The description also states that the template's agent-model line is absent, since it says 'AI-assisted' without naming the model and harness. The template asks for the model and harness when an agent was used, so that line is missing.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Use the tier's explicit five-minute write rate for the one-hour fallback.
When a priority, ultrafast, or context-tier entry sets cache_creation_input_token_cost but not the matching cache_creation_input_token_cost_above_1hr, the one-hour rate is derived from the standard one-hour proportion. It does not use the tier's published five-minute rate. Example: with standard input and write rates of $5 and $6.25, and tier input and write rates of $30 and $40, the one-hour rate becomes $37.50 instead of $40. One million one-hour tokens are then understated by $2.50.
When the tier publishes an explicit five-minute write rate, use it as the one-hour fallback. Keep the proportional fallback when the tier has no explicit write rate.
