The change, announced in a GitHub blog post, means users can no longer use a model enabled by any organization; instead, the billing organization, found under 'Usage billed to' in the Copilot features page, decides access. Users whose access comes entirely through an enterprise or its organizations are unaffected.", "body_md": "# Copilot model access update for GitHub Team plans\n\nWe have updated how model access is determined for Copilot users who hold seats in more than one organization.
