                reaches the admin API through `AdminModelPricing`'s

                `#[serde(flatten)]`, so the field name here *is* the wire key —
                and

                `EffectivePricing`, the

                Left

                unrenamed, the pricing tab would write a tier successfully and

                read back nothing, which is precisely how it behaved before this

                attribute existed: the surcharge saved, the dialog reopened

        Crossing the threshold re-rates the **whole** request, not just the
        tokens

        past it — that is how xAI, OpenAI and Azure all publish it, and it is
        why

        this is a rate switch rather than a marginal bracket.


        Note the asymmetry that makes this easy to get wrong: the gate is
        measured

        on the *prompt*, but the surcharge applies to output tokens too. The
        gate

        quantity and the billed quantities are different numbers.
