"On a Claude subscription, Claude Code requests the one-hour TTL automatically. Usage is included in your plan rather than billed per token, so the longer TTL costs you nothing extra and only affects how long your cache stays warm.
If you’ve gone over your plan’s usage limit and Claude Code is drawing on usage credits, you are billed for that usage, so Claude Code automatically drops the TTL to five minutes."
