    The November 2023 sheet published with Claude 2.1 (captured 2023-11-21) still shows $1.63/$5.51; the December 2023 sheet (first captured 2023-12-12) shows $0.80/$2.40. No official announcement of the cut was found.

    Earliest official capture with a per-token Claude Instant price. A sheet named model_pricing_may2023.pdf shows the same price, but its earliest capture is 2023-09-06, so the price can't be dated earlier than the July 2023 sheet's capture. Claude Instant 1.2 (2023-08-09) kept the same row.

Gaps in this history

No official per-token price found before the July 2023 sheet (captured 2023-07-14), so the March 2023 launch price is undocumented. The December 2023 cut is bounded between 2023-11-21 and 2023-12-12 only; no announcement found.
