Accenture has capped centrally funded employee expenditure on Anthropic's Claude to $29 per month effective October 1, according to a report by 404 Media. The change follows surging enterprise expenses, with some employees previously generating monthly Claude bills of $500 to $1,000 for coding and development. Under the new policy, usage exceeding the baseline allowance must be billed to specific project budgets via the company's internal accounting system. The move illustrates rising corporate scrutiny over consumption-based SaaS costs for generative AI enterprise tools.
