Agency meters AI agent token use after 1.5M-token day
An agency built a meter to track token usage and found a single staff member burned 1.5 million tokens in one day, underscoring the need for monitoring and controls on autonomous agent actions.
Why this matters
For spendbroker.com, this shows that agent activity must be metered and capped, not just for tokens but for money. Financial guardrails and agent payment brokering should enforce spend limits and flag anomalous usage before costs run out of control.
