Copilot Billing Preview app will be retired on August 3

GitHub will retire the Copilot Billing Preview app on August 3, 2026, directing users to built-in billing settings for greater visibility into Copilot spend. The app was originally created to help with usage-based billing, but GitHub's billing settings now offer more detailed features like user-level budgets and cost centers.

The Copilot Billing Preview app will be retired on August 3, 2026. If you use it to review your GitHub Copilot spend, you can get even greater visibility directly in your GitHub billing settings.

The app was built to help you understand your bill as Copilot moved to usage-based billing. Since then, your billing settings have grown to cover details the app’s underlying reports can’t show (e.g., user-level budgets, cost centers, and how usage pools are allocated). Rather than leave you with an incomplete picture, GitHub is retiring the app in favor of the built-in experience.

What to use instead You can review and manage your Copilot spend without the app:

  • See your AI usage on the AI usage page in yourbilling settings, where you can group, filter, and export your AI credit data. - Set budgets to cap your spend.
  • If you’re an organization or enterprise, user-level budgets will help you control and track spend at an individual level.
  • Pull raw usage data anytime from your usage reports and the billing API.
