Consumption billing? Claude code is primarily a subscription. A heavily subsidized one at that. How are you doing it so wrong?
Anthropic does not sell subscriptions to organizations over 150 people, only API billing.
What's stopping a company from creating as many 149-people organizations as they need?
Corporate management overhead, tax overhead, friction/inconvenience of splitting our org across IDPs/Entra/Microsoft Office/Google Workspace... if you have enough money to employ 150 people you probably have enough money to pay API rates.

Companies this size don't get the subsidy
their subscriptions aren’t subsidised. in fact its near 100% margin. you are getting the lowest priority access with no service level guarantee in the gaps in supply left over by api users, anthropic’s cost basis on hardware would be the same without subscriptions.
I don't know about near 100% margin, but definitely true on lowest priority access. Plenty of times I get model overloaded, outages, etc on my consumer subs, then switch to my work API sub and everything is perfectly fine.
