Sources and leaks from Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and more show what is really happening with AI right now: companies are trying to rein in AI use as costs spiral out of control.

Most companies will outsource the chatbot to a third party (like Zendesk, as part of Zendesk’s overall support packaging), and those are usually billed per conversation, not per token (at least, not until they update contract terms lol), so you’ll want to make sure you’re starting many many chats and engaging in them (send at least a couple of messages).
Also, some systems will not count against the quota if the AI didn’t “fix” the issue, so always end with “thanks, that helped” to make sure the conversation counts against the limit.
However, if you’re using a product with some copilot crap, ask it for help, and then just constantly ask for minor adjustments or corrections (“no, that’s not quite right, try again. I wanted the color to be a little more blue” “no, try again, now it’s too blue, reduce it”, you get the idea). You’ll burn through soooo many tokens.
If the company using the AI service doesn’t foot the bill because of how their contract with the AI company was set, it is the AI company that loses money. Either is a win to me.
I love you for this comment. That’s all stuff I can do.
