Fix stale Claude Sonnet 5 margin pricing; bump posthog-node - #803
Merged
Conversation
…-node MODEL_COST priced claude-sonnet-5 at an anticipated STANDARD $3/$15, deliberately guarding against a scheduled 2026-09-01 price increase from the $2/$10 intro rate. Anthropic cancelled that increase on 2026-08-10 and made $2/$10 the permanent standard price (confirmed against Anthropic's own release notes, not just OpenRouter's current listing). The old pricing wasn't a margin-loss bug - it's the safe direction - but it was clamping max_tokens more aggressively than necessary on every Sonnet 5 call through the gateway, for a price increase that is no longer coming. posthog-node bumped 5.48.1 -> 5.49.1, picking up several backend- relevant fixes landed since our pinned version: a shutdown() fix (logs timeouts instead of throwing - relevant given the drain-window logic on Railway), a gzip payload compression memory-growth fix, an identify() correctness fix, and a raised default maxQueueSize tuned for backend workloads. Verified: test-llm-gateway.js (232/232) and test-pricing-margin.js (100/100) pass clean post-fix, margin table shows healthy +13% to +55% across every tier with google/gemini-2.5-pro (not sonnet) now the pro-tier worst case, confirming sonnet is no longer the pricing bottleneck. test-posthog-funnel.js (53/53) passes clean on the new posthog-node version.
