Accenture employees will only be able to spend $29 on Claude per month after some ended up splashing out thousands of dollars

Accenture's central budget will afford $29 in Claude credits for workers Team and project budgets could unlock more usage where it's appropriate Some workers are using as much as $1,000 a month in credits at the moment Accenture has become the latest company to limit workers' access to AI tools amid soaring costs, with workers now limited to just $29 in Claude Enterprise credits every month. The restriction came into force at the start of October 2026, per 404 Media reporting, which states that some workers were spending as much as $1,000 per month on Claude. Rather than framing $29 as an absolute cap, it's being seen more as a soft limit, with certain projects or teams able to exceed this usage where it's deemed necessary.
