Copilot switches every plan to usage-based billing in GitHub AI Credits

What changed

GitHub announced the change on April 27 and switched every plan on June 1, each with a monthly included allotment of AI Credits. After the included credits run out you can keep working by setting a spending budget billed at month end, though GitHub may cap extra credits on individual accounts. Copilot code review now also uses GitHub Actions minutes. User-level budgets became generally available for organisations and enterprises.

Who it affects

All Copilot subscribers, and admins who manage budgets and code review.

What to do

Set a spending budget so work doesn’t stop when credits run out, and budget for the Actions minutes code review now uses.
