For Anthropic in particular, that we're talking about, API token costs are revenue that is earned in real-time not on a contract - so hypothetically a giant spike in token use on an API use contract could spike revenue. But I don't think most expect that to randomly fluctuate enough to be material.

People building applications that use AI do have longer contracts. Not sure how the split is vs Claude Code etc.

Sure, but the moment they use the token the revenue is earned.
