A BallSoft Cloud account manager walked into his manager's office.
"What is it, Naveen?" asked the man's manager, looking up from his laptop.
"Radius 10K just requested a quota increase."
"Oh? How much?"
"400 percent," said Naveen. "And they offered to pre-pay three months ahead if we were willing to provide dedicated capacity."
"Do we even have that kind of capacity?" asked his manager.
"Two days ago I would have said, maybe. But AI-n-stein's usage has dropped off a cliff. They're down 20 percent, and still dropping."
"What?!" blurted his manager. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I triple-checked and confirmed there are no service or metrics issues."
"We need to figure out what happened," said his manager, sounding distressed. 'They're our biggest GPU customer, and a 20 percent drop means millions in lost revenue!"
"About Radius, sir? Their quota increase will mostly fill the gap created by AI-n-stein's drop in usage."
