As announced in our recent blog post, usage-based billing for GitHub Copilot is now live for all users and Copilot code review consumes GitHub Actions minutes, in addition to GitHub AI Credits.

As part of this release, we’re also launching new user-level budget controls and enabling upgrades to Copilot Max.

Usage-based billing is active for all Copilot plans

As of June 1, all Copilot plans bill based on GitHub AI Credits consumed. Each plan comes with monthly included usage. To find more details about what’s included in each plan, please review the documentation for usage-based billing for individuals and usage-based billing for organizations and enterprises.

After you consume your included AI Credits, you can continue to spend additional AI Credits and be billed at the end of the month by setting an additional spending budget. For individual plans, we may limit your total additional AI Credits based on your usage patterns, billing history, and verification status for your user account. To continue spending AI Credits, we recommend upgrading to the next plan for more included and additional usage limits.
