Per-user budgets for cost centers in the billing UI

GitHub Enterprise Cloud now lets admins create per-user AI credit budgets for cost centers directly in the billing UI, a feature previously only available via REST API. Admins can add teams or individuals to a cost center, set a single per-user budget that automatically applies to all members, and budget coverage stays in sync as membership changes.

Per-user budgets for cost centers in the billing UI

Enterprise admins can now create cost center user-level budgets directly in the billing UI where you manage cost centers and budgets. This feature is available for GitHub Enterprise Cloud. This gives you the same per-user AI credit budget controls that were previously only available through the REST API.

With this release, you can add enterprise teams or individual users to a cost center, set one per-user budget for that cost center, and have it automatically apply to everyone in it. As membership changes, budget coverage stays in sync, so you don’t need to reconfigure budgets when people move teams.
