Time
Rows with a rate that changes by time of day, promo window or service tier are priced for this scenario instead of their flat listed rate; a brand-colored label under the model name names which one applies. Context size for band-priced rows uses the input-token count below.
Picking a specific hour also previews time-of-day rates that are scheduled but have not started billing yet; those rows are labelled · preview with their start instant. Now only ever shows rates that are billable at this moment.

Tier badges reading Foundry · … are Microsoft Foundry deployment tiers (Global routes to any datacenter, Data Zone pins to US or EU at roughly a 10% premium, Regional pins to one region); Direct API is the model developer’s own first-party API. Blended in is the effective $/1M input paid after the cache split. * marks models with no cache meter (hit rate ignored). Daggers † /‡ mark derived / estimated rates. A brand-colored label under a model name names the variant priced under the selected scenario, when it differs from the row’s base rate. A · preview label means the opposite: that rate is scheduled but is not billing yet, and is only shown because a specific hour was picked above — the row still charges its base rate until the stated start instant. The default Now scenario never shows a preview. The ☆ control pins a lane to the shortlist tray, which ranks pinned lanes by cost for the selected workload only.
