What's Wrong?

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Select model
Switch between Claude models. Applies to this session and future Claude Code sessions. For other/previous model names, specify with --model.
❯ 1. Default (recommended) ✔ Use the default model (currently Sonnet 4.6) · $3/$15 per Mtok
2. Sonnet (1M context) Sonnet 4.6 for long sessions · $3/$15 per Mtok
3. Opus (1M context) Opus 4.6 with 1M context [NEW] · Most capable for complex work
4. Haiku Haiku 4.5 · Fastest for quick answers · $1/$5 per Mtok
Option 2 (Sonnet 1M context) displays $3/$15 per Mtok — the same as option 1 — but Sonnet 4.6 pricing increases to $6/$22.50 per Mtok for inputs exceeding 200K tokens. The UI should either show the tiered pricing or add a disclaimer that costs increase beyond 200K tokens.
What Should Happen?
It should show correct pricing
