Literally was in a presentation at work the other day where they said someone used 2 million tokens and the next person used 1 million and they were so excited by it.

I didn't get it. I asked went 2 million was better than 1 million. The VP basically said it's not, just costs us more money.

So why the hell is the presentation acting like it's a fucking victory?

Because it's a proxy metric for adoption. Currently you generally want your engineers to be using it as much as you can afford to so that they all learn and improve and adapt existing processes etc

Also, I've been noticing more and more APIs are adopting a policy where they get rid of any unused credits that you've paid for at the end of the month, creating a 'use it or lose it' FOMO mentality.

All very normal and sane.

Never heard of a subscription model before, I take it?
