Bedrock Provisioned Throughput maps to Agent Platform Provisioned Throughput, a fixed-term subscription that reserves capacity for Google models.
- Provisioned Throughput is bought as a fixed-term subscription; Bedrock sells model units per hour with optional commitment terms.
- The docs describe controls for overage traffic beyond what you reserved.
- Pay-as-you-go also offers Priority and Flex tiers, so not every latency need requires a reservation.
