What about a $10k to $20k bill? Or better, 100%-200% of the employees salary? At a certain point in time, finance is going to care greatly about the ability to predict costs. Pre AI, predicting the cost an engineer was quite easy. Salary + benefits + licenses for software. CI systems that were unbounded were rolled up into opex and treated as a separate line item. Where does token spend land in this now?
Finance teams above all else value predictability. Token spend is the opposite of predictable. Eventually these two forces are going to collide and some part of the system will break. My guess is it's token spend, not finance allowing unbound spend on a previously predictable part of the balance sheet.
