Batch and Flex: $0.15/$1.25. Priority: $0.54/$4.50. Audio input folded into the flat $0.30 rate, down 40% from 3.1 Flash-Lite's separate $0.50 audio line. Vertex non-global endpoints bill 10% higher ($0.33/$2.75) since July 1, 2026. Thinking on by default at minimal level; thinking tokens bill as output. Stable, no -preview suffix.
