Share of input tokens served from cache. Applied only to models with a cache meter.
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.
What this lane charges right now
Priced under the workload and scenario above. The full published schedule below always shows every variant regardless of which scenario is selected.
Where this workload's cost goes
60M input tokens (90% cache hit) and 210K output tokens, at the resolved rate above.
$8.25 + $11.88 + $0.578 = $20.71
How much to trust these numbers
Data Zone premium: exactly 1.1x the Global rate on all three meters. Long-context (≥200K prompt) DZ meters also exist, billing at $2.75 in / $5.50 out / $0.44 cached per M.
Azure Retail Prices API '4.3 Inp/Cached Inp/Outp DZ' meters, effective 2026-05-01, captured 2026-07-26: $1.375/M input, $0.22/M cached input, $2.75/M output — a clean 1.1x the tracked Global rate ($1.25/$0.20/$2.50). Long-context 'L' DZ meters re-verified 2026-07-28: '4.3 Inp DZ L Tokens' $0.00275/1K ($2.75/M), '4.3 Cached Inp DZ L Tokens' $0.00044/1K ($0.44/M), '4.3 Outp DZ L Tokens' $0.0055/1K ($5.50/M) — matching the Global long-context row's 2x pattern at the same 1.1x DZ premium.
