AI is a fraction of cost of an employee though right? I have an 1000$/mo AI budget which is a fraction of my salary, and most people don’t hit their limits.

Sounds like your company is burning 1000 dollars a month for something people are barely using. At some point those costs become unbearable and they admit that absurd AI budget was a mistake, or they admit no mistake and fire people. I know which they'll choose.
$1000 budget doesn't mean you spend $1000 if you use nothing.
Not everywhere, and this is the year where the price per token will go up closer to the supply cost.
Curious to know why are they not hitting their limits.
In the organization I work, things are crazy at the moment, we are drinking tokens as if we are in hot desert and 1k is barely enough for a week for some people
On heavy coding days it can go up. But most people aren’t coding all day. And research and docs tend to be pretty gentle on the tokens IME. Only time I hit my limit was coding for 80 hours in a war-room. (Also I mostly use cursor which is more efficient with its implicit use of light models and indexed workspace).
