Uber Caps Usage of AI Tools Like Claude Code to Manage Costs

Uber is limiting employees to $1,500 monthly token spend per AI coding tool to manage costs.

Uber has reportedly capped employee token spending at $1,500 per month for each agentic AI coding tool, including Cursor and Claude Code. Simon Willison frames this as a rational response to overspending, especially after earlier discussion that Uber exhausted its 2026 AI budget in four months. He estimates that two actively used tools would imply a $36,000 annual cap per engineer, about 11% of median US Uber software engineer compensation.
