# Faster Sessions, BYOK Pricing Fix & Reliability Updates

**Date:** 2026-08-24
> Session loads are faster and more stable, BYOK cache reads are no longer overcharged, and several reliability fixes landed.

---

## Performance

- Opening a v4 session now takes a single request instead of several, and the page no longer jumps around while it loads.

## Pricing

- Fixed a billing bug where BYOK cache reads were priced at the full input rate instead of the discounted cache rate. BYOK now costs the same as the managed path.

## Reliability

- Shared session transcripts now stream in pages instead of blocking on very large transcripts.
- A session tab left open in the background now recovers automatically once you return to it, instead of staying stuck.
- Fixed several mobile layout issues that could block sending or stopping a run from a phone.

## Dashboard

- Recent sessions in the sidebar no longer disappear behind the Configuration panel.

## API & SDK

- Fixed a bug where the legacy MCP server could fail to start a session when no proxy country was set.
