The current AI pricing was always going to go away. It just doesnโ€™t make sense. Microsoft canceled internal Claude Code licenses this week (for whatever reason, even if itโ€™s because they integrated it), Uber blew its entire 2026 AI budget in four months, and GitHub is dropping flat-rate plans across its products. Youโ€™ll see the [โ€ฆ]

Claude pro, now copilot stopped taking individual subscribers (to keep service quality stable while announcing in the same blog post that they lower quotas and remove models from the pro subscription, sure nothing to do with GitHub's bottomline) and rumours suggest they really want to post on the token costs to the users.

Anthropic moved enterprise customers from flat-fee seats to per-token billing for Claude usage, signaling broader industry shift away from AI subsidies. The change follows uptime issues that pushed companies like Retool to OpenAI despite preferring Claude's capabilities. Expect other providers running compute-intensive workloads to follow similar pricing models as the economics tighten.

Anthropic has unbundled Claude Code usage from enterprise seat fees, moving customers to per-token billing amid a compute crunch. Retool's founder already switched to OpenAI over uptime. Session caps, cache cuts, and OpenClaw meters show the subsidy bleeding out.
