[Thanks Emma, glad you found it useful! Agreed: once AI workloads hit production, token spend and PTU sizing become an architecture decision, not just a billing one. A good pattern is to start on pay-as-you-go, measure steady-state throughput for a few weeks, then move predictable baseline load to PTU and keep bursts on PAYG.](https://hashnode.com/posts/finops-for-ai-workloads-on-azure-tokens-ptu-and-pay-as-you-go/6ae0885f490a864c95b4a189/comment/6ae4a62f7a8fca3c72819d0e#reply-6ae4b1237a8fca3c7281c34e)
