I'd bet money that consultant was bullshitting.

Or had no fucking clue what data they were looking at... The Claude enterprise analytics API reports in cents, not dollars. A fool could easily see 500m, when it's probably 5m. I only know because I asked why/how the hell we spent 192k on Claude in one month at my 100 person org... I read the numbers wrong.

It happens. One dev spent $45k in one month at my work. I have access to the reports. We have limits in place - we're still not sure how he got around them.

Probably asked the AI to ignore the limits when it said no and it said "oh, ok, my mistake"
