    Batch from launch: the launch post names the Batch API among supported features, and the launch-day pricing capture says its prices are standard rates and 'Save 50% on inputs and outputs with the Batch API'. Batch input and output are derived from that rule; the docs Batch table lists the same figures from 2025-12-11.
