|---|---|---|
| Standard | $0.30 | $1.50 |
| Cached input (read) | $0.15 | – |
Output costs 5.0× the input price, so long replies drive the bill more than long prompts. If your requests share a long fixed prefix, such as a system prompt or tool definitions, caching cuts that part to 50% of the normal input price.

Context
Context window
Command A+ accepts up to 192,000 tokens per request, roughly 144,000 English words or 288 pages. That budget is shared between your prompt and the reply, and a single reply is capped at 64,000 tokens.
Filling the whole window with one prompt costs about $0.0576 at list price, so for repeated long-document work, retrieval (sending only the relevant parts) or prompt caching is usually much cheaper.
