How can Copilot remain profitable under fixed pricing?

My firm is just starting with AI tools and as far as I'm aware, we'll be choosing from Copilot (fixed subscription price) or Claude (priced by token usage). From what I understand (2nd/3rd year CS level) all language models use "tokens" and so "price per token" should theoretically apply to every platform, but for some reason we'll face essentially fixed pricing on Copilot or variable on Claude. How does this work for Microsoft?

I guess there can be throttling or other limits for extreme overuse, but it feels like it'd be too easy to overuse Copilot.

Also can someone help me understand the copilot tiers; is it just basic and pro or are there multiple levels?
