Quoting Natalie Lung

Uber has capped employee spending on agentic AI coding tools at $1,500 per month per tool, a company spokesperson confirmed to Bloomberg News. The limits, implemented in recent months, apply to software like Cursor and Anthropic’s Claude Code, with spending on one tool not affecting the budget for another. The move aims to manage rising costs associated with the rideshare giant’s use of artificial intelligence.

The rideshare giant is limiting all employees to $1,500 in monthly token spending per AI coding tool, an Uber spokesperson said in response to a Bloomberg News inquiry. That means spending on one tool doesn’t have a bearing on the budget for another. The limits, which have been instituted in recent months, only apply to agentic coding software such as Cursor or Anthropic PBC’s Claude Code.
