Context cost estimates the value of the context tokens delivered by Cortex Flashes in the selected period. Fab applies its stated standard input-token rate. The figure covers retrieved knowledge; it does not measure your total model spend or your subscription bill.

Select **Data** to see the model, rate, and dated rate card used for the estimate. Use the displayed rate when interpreting a report, because a price assumption is part of that report's basis.

**Context Tokens / Issue** divides the period's Flash context tokens by the number of Issues closed in the period, including canceled Issues. **Context Cost / Issue** divides the corresponding estimate by the same count. These are period averages. They do not show how much each individual Issue consumed.

When a Module is selected, context totals count Flashes that targeted that Module. A Module included as a dependency is different from a direct Flash request. One explicit request counts once even when it includes several dependencies.

If no Issues closed, the per-Issue figures are unavailable. Fab can still show context tokens and context cost for that period.

Read the cost estimate alongside throughput, first-pass success, and coverage. More retrieved context does not by itself show that an agent used it correctly or that the work improved.
