This update enables enterprises to manage billing data more efficiently by using app installation access tokens, which can call the enterprise billing REST API endpoints. This change facilitates better integration with finance and BI systems and offers higher rate limits, enhancing the overall billing management process for enterprises.

Judge allows NAACP lawsuit over xAI pollution to proceed
xAI's attempt to dismiss the NAACP's Clean Air Act lawsuit failed after a federal judge ruled that its gas turbines are not exempt mobile sources and that plaintiffs have standing. This legal setback confirms that AI infrastructure operators cannot bypass environmental permitting by classifying heavy industrial equipment as temporary or mobile.
