This release adds a flow for them to request more budget the moment they hit the limit. You can approve, adjust, or deny that request without leaving your settings.\n\nRequests automatically route to whichever account pays for the budget. Requests against an organization-owned budget appear in your organization’s settings, and requests against an enterprise-owned budget appear in your enterprise’s settings.\n\nAs an organization owner, enterprise owner, or billing manager, you can review pending requests under “Requests from members”, set a new amount for each one, and select **Approve and increase**. Approving a request updates the member’s budget to the amount you set and immediately restores their access to AI credits.\n\nThis feature is available with the GitHub Copilot Business and GitHub Copilot Enterprise plans under usage-based billing.\n\nTo learn more, see [Managing requests for additional Copilot budget](https://docs.github.com/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/how-tos/administer-copilot/manage-budget-requests) and [Setting up budgets to control spending on metered products](https://docs.github.com/enterprise-cloud@latest/billing/how-tos/set-up-budgets).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-budget-increase-requests-are-generally-available", "canonical_source": "https://github.blog/changelog/2026-09-16-copilot-budget-increase-requests-are-generally-available", "published_at": "2026-09-16 20:17:18+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-16 20:56:07.811841+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["GitHub", "GitHub Copilot", "GitHub Copilot Business", "GitHub Copilot Enterprise"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-budget-increase-requests-are-generally-available", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-budget-increase-requests-are-generally-available.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-budget-increase-requests-are-generally-available.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-budget-increase-requests-are-generally-available.jsonld"}}
