微软叫停Tokenmaxxing！预算卡死，超限自负

TL;DR - Microsoft reportedly introduced departmental AI-token budgets and made cheaper GPT-5.6 its default internal model, shifting focus from maximizing AI usage to measurable productivity. The move reflects broader industry concern that agentic coding costs are rising faster than their benefits.

• Employees can view personal token spending, while Microsoft may impose further limits based on usage.
• Microsoft argues that stronger models, longer contexts, and more agents do not automatically produce better results.
• Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and Uber have similarly restricted costly AI tools or encouraged model selection by task complexity.
• Companies are replacing token-consumption incentives with outcome-based measures of AI impact.
