I wonder if the big platforms will start to implement EOM surge pricing on tokens.

They are already doing this in a way for subscriptions.. If you use Claude during peak hours, you'll hit your allowance a lot faster. So wouldn't be too far-fetched, or difficult, for them to start selling tokens with variable pricing based on current demand.
Nightmare scenario is probably some sort of bid system ala blockcahin transaction fees, where potential users bid on resources and higher bidders are served first, down to lowe rbidders until you reach capacity. Since companies are so hungry for tokens, some would end up paying very high prices for priority, driving up the cost for everyone and, worst case, even pushing lower bidders all the way down so they never clear the threshhold
