Unlimited AI tokens aren't unlimited after all as US Army burns through supply
Ars Technica WIRED
The US Army exhausted its token budget for AI services within weeks of announcing unlimited access to roughly 1.75 million employees, forcing the Department of Defense to reimpose usage limits on Ask Sage, a platform providing access to models from OpenAI, Meta, and Google. The Army CIO's token pool ran dry by mid-June 2026, less than a month after the May announcement of unlimited tokens. Users now face restricted access and uncertainty about whether token renewal will continue beyond October 1st, 2026.
Why it matters
Troops received an email informing them that they were rapidly depleting their AI tokens.
