# Vercel Agent sessions now cost 67% less

By Steven Van · 2026-10-27

The 67% average saving applies to dashboard and Slack sessions with no action needed, and billing rates stay the same.

[Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) Agent sessions in the dashboard and Slack now cost 67% less on average. Vercel rebuilt how Agent manages context, which cuts the tokens needed per session and improves prompt-cache reuse. The changes are live and need no action from users, according to [the changelog](<https://vercel.com/changelog/vercel-agent-sessions-now-cost-67-percent-less>).

## What changed

- **Workflow-based CLI skills:** updated Vercel CLI skills give agents clearer guidance for common workflows and error recovery. Other agents that use these skills also benefit.

- **Incremental context management:** Agent handles context more efficiently as conversations grow, including long Slack threads.

- **Improved prompt caching:** Agent preserves more reusable context across turns, so more of it can be read from the cache.

- **More efficient coding and planning:** updated guidance helps Agent plan changes and write code with fewer tokens.

## Billing

Billing rates are unchanged. Paid sessions are billed at the model provider's inference rates plus a Vercel Agent fee of **$0.25 per million tokens**. The saving comes from sessions using fewer tokens. Usage and costs appear in the Agent section of the dashboard.
