Microsoft Reportedly Halts “Tokenmaxxing,” Enforcing Fixed Token Budgets

The report says GPT-5.6 is the internal default and that users may be responsible for costs exceeding fixed budgets. The supplied abstract does not include internal documents, budget figures, scope, or independent confirmation, so the operational details and breadth of the policy remain unverified.
