It's interesting that we are seeing a time when subscriptions are not preferred and usage-based billing is.

Pay-as-you go isn't a common thing in SaaS. For example, except for AWS SES, all email providers are bulk-subscription based.

The point of SaaS was that the marginal cost (of supporting another user) was low. That does not apply to LLMs.
