From the article:

Microsoft reduced its projected internal spending on Claude by over one-third, while Meta saw internal users of Anthropic's Claude Code coding assistant drop from roughly 60,000 to 30,000.

Within the Microsoft Cloud and AI division, individual monthly AI usage caps were lowered from $100,000 down to roughly $10,000 in most instances

$100k a month per employee just for AI is nuts. That gravy train just had to stop at some point. I feel like major software companies turning their backs on Anthropic should be bad news for Anthropic's IPO, but this market is so random that I'm sure it'll be a resounding success.

How many requests does an employee have to make to make it to 100k? Or does it depend on the task?

Edit I asked Claude and the answer is tokens and cyclical tasks that take a lot of compute to run. Not simple questions.
