Summary
$29 a month is now Accenture's spending limit for many employees using Claude, sharply reducing allowances for some who had run up bills near $1,000 monthly.
Heavy token consumption drove the move, with workers rapidly chewing through AI usage and forcing the consulting firm to rein in costs.
Employees affected by the cap are scrambling to preserve current usage levels, highlighting how quickly enterprise AI budgets can be exhausted.
Accenture's cutback mirrors a broader shift across industries, where companies that spent aggressively on AI tools are now tightening employee access and spending.
