I think whats funny is that employees were most likely already covering the cost for these tools because they are useful. Companies didn't believe employees were using these tools and now have forced their usage and no longer have the costs subsidized.
Similarly companies seem to reward high token usage as a sign of someone willing to play ball with AI and again have forced higher costs on themselves for people reward hacking or using tokens out of spite.
An increasingly disturbing trend from Github and I only see this getting worse.
I wouldn't rule out them moving away from offering the free tier to stop the all the code pushes. I think new code mostly written by AI isn't that appealing of a data set to train on.
Maybe someone has the perfect claude.md that solves this problem but I have not seen it.
