In this lesson
Prepare for the Claude Certified Architect – Professional exam, on the exam guide version 1.0, effective July 2026. In this lesson: cutting cost without losing quality (caching, trimmed tokens, the Batch API), trading cost against intelligence (effort, retries at a higher effort, routing, output limits, budgets), logging, rate limits and error 429, workspaces and the Usage and Cost API, and acting on dashboard signals. Includes three original practice questions.
Preview the topics
- Harborline’s summaries run at high effort on every claim, and a validator can check each summary. What lowers the cost, while keeping the pass rate?
- During a storm, Harborline’s API calls start failing with error 429, and a retry-after header. What should the integration do?
- Finance wants the monthly cost of each team’s Claude API usage, in one report. What should the architect set up?
