Is there anyone who has to use the chatbot at work who's being told not to use *too many* tokens?

Ed Zitron's posting about limits on AI token use at Microsoft (at Microsoft!!) and I'm hearing stories from other places.

turns out companies can't afford to go full Gas Town!

Anyone here getting such directives? "use AI or else! 10x the features! NOW! No, not that much AI! Still 10x the features!"

EDIT: thank you for your help! https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/116258235657317479
