Tesla capped per-employee AI spend at $200/week. 60% of surveyed enterprises report actively throttling AI spend, per Matterfact citing Business of Tech and Stripe. Stripe's AI monetization lead notes there are "very few scaling or scaled AI companies that are still exclusively subscriptions or seat-based" because heavy users "cost you a ton" unmetered. The tension is the story: usage pricing fixes the vendor's COGS problem by handing the buyer an unbudgetable line item, and buyers are responding with hard caps. Both sides are now optimizing against each other.
