GitHub announced on April 27 that Copilot's pricing model will switch to usage-based billing on June 1, 2026. Every plan — Pro ($10/mo), Pro+ ($39/mo), Business ($19/user/mo), and Enterprise ($39/user/mo) — receives a monthly AI Credits allotment; usage beyond the allotment is metered by token consumption. Code completions remain included in the base plans and do not draw from credits. Separately, Copilot code review will begin consuming GitHub Actions minutes on the same date. GitHub will open a preview billing experience in early May so organisations can observe projected costs before they are charged. This is a structural change for any team relying on flat-rate Copilot access: heavy chat and agent usage that previously had no marginal cost will now erode the monthly credits allotment. Admins should review the preview bill dashboard when it opens and audit which workflows — particularly automated agent runs and Copilot code review — are the largest consumers. Teams using both Copilot and Actions should account for the new Actions-minutes draw from code review in their CI cost models.
