The effort setting requires a model that supports effort controls. On Amazon Bedrock,
Google Cloud's Agent Platform, and Microsoft Foundry, the `sonnet` alias currently
resolves to Sonnet 4.5, which does not support effort controls. Select an effort-capable
model available from your provider, or omit `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL`.
| Setting | Default | Recommended | Impact |
|---------|---------|-------------|--------|
| `model` | opus | **sonnet** | ~60% cost reduction; handles 80%+ of coding tasks |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` | Model-dependent | **medium** | Controls adaptive reasoning depth; lower effort trades reasoning depth for latency and cost |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` | Model-dependent | **medium**, if supported | Controls adaptive reasoning depth on models that support effort controls; lower effort trades reasoning depth for latency and cost |
| `CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE` | 95 | **50** | Compacts earlier, better quality in long sessions |
| `ECC_CONTEXT_MONITOR_COST_WARNINGS` | on | **off for subscription users** | Suppresses agent-facing API-rate estimate warnings while keeping context/scope/loop warnings |

### What each setting does
| Setting | Default | Recommended | Effect |
|---------|---------|-------------|--------|
| `model` | opus | **sonnet** | Sonnet handles ~80% of coding tasks well. Switch to Opus with `/model opus` for complex reasoning. ~60% cost reduction. |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` | Model-dependent | **medium** | Sets adaptive reasoning effort. Adjust it for task complexity; supported levels depend on the model. |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` | Model-dependent | **medium**, if supported | Sets adaptive reasoning effort on models that support effort controls. Adjust it for task complexity; supported levels depend on the model. |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` | _(inherits main)_ | **haiku** | Subagents (Task tool) run on this model. Haiku is ~80% cheaper and sufficient for exploration, file reading, and test running. |
| `ECC_CONTEXT_MONITOR_COST_WARNINGS` | on | **off for subscription users** | Suppresses agent-facing API-rate estimate warnings while keeping context exhaustion, scope, and loop warnings. |
