I looked into this the other day - it's hard to get concrete numbers but rumors online lead me to believe that negotiated discounts tend to only be in the 10-15% range and you need to commit to six figure of spending to get them.

I've seen the bill at our company (few hundred users, few thousand total employees); we're paying the full API rate.

In my experience Anthropic won't give you much of a discount, if any, unless you have a multi-million dollar a year contract.

The actual cost your company pays is likely _higher_ than what Claude Code shows in /cost, not lower. Also, very few organizations are getting any discount on API rates. Maybe the US military.
