Description
Claude Code version 2.1.98. The last pre-phantom-token release — proxy-measured at 49,726 cache_creation_input_tokens for the baseline payload, 169,514 bytes content length. Serves as the community-recommended downgrade target (npx claude-code@2.1.98) to avoid v2.1.100+ token inflation.
Key claims
- v2.1.100 sends fewer bytes but is billed 20K more tokens than v2.1.98
- Downgrade to v2.1.98 is the verified phantom-token workaround
