Google Cloud added new ways to pay for and limit spending on AI agent work in Gemini Enterprise. Customers can now mix fixed per-user seats with a usage-based option, pool daily allowances across business and developer tools, commit to a monthly spend for discounted token rates, and set firm monthly spending caps that pause an agent's calls. The usage-based edition and the included Antigravity developer access are open to selected customers first, with discounted off-peak scheduling still to come.
What changed
Gemini Enterprise was sold as per-user seat subscriptions with fixed daily quotas, and developer tools were licensed and billed separately.
What it unlocks
Setting a hard monthly cap on AI spend per project, pooling one quota across business users and developer tools, and committing to a monthly spend for discounted token rates.
