OpenAI gives enterprise admins more AI spend controls

OpenAI announced new usage analytics and updated spend controls for ChatGPT Enterprise. The Global Admin Console now gives admins a more granular view of credit consumption across users, products, and models, including ChatGPT and Codex usage, with data also available through the Cost API. OpenAI also added default workspace limits, group-level limits, and individual overrides so teams can manage power users without raising limits for everyone. The update matters because enterprise AI adoption is quickly moving from access and experimentation to budget governance, user-level controls, and evidence that AI spend maps to useful work.
