Your recorded history should not change when prices do
A cost tracker carrying a single current-price table would reprice every claude-3-5-haiku-20241022 session you ran before 2024-12-03 at the new rate, silently restating months you already paid for. See what this change does to a real session, and why dated windows are the fix.
