Retiring the Copilot Billing Preview app

GitHub has retired the Copilot Billing Preview app, which helped users understand their bill during the transition to usage-based billing. Users can now manage Copilot spend directly in GitHub billing settings, which offer a more complete view including user-level budgets, cost centers, and usage pool allocation. The AI usage page in billing settings allows grouping, filtering, and exporting AI credit data, and budgets can be set to cap spend.

Retired

We’ve retired the GitHub Copilot Billing Preview app, and it’s no longer available. You can review and manage your Copilot spend directly in your GitHub billing settings.

The app helped you understand your bill during the move to usage-based billing. Your billing settings now give you a more complete view that the app’s underlying reports couldn’t show, including user-level budgets, cost centers, and usage pool allocation.

What to use instead You can review and manage your Copilot spend in your billing settings:

  • 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. For more information, see our docs about how to set up budgets. - If you’re an organization or enterprise, user-level budgets help you control and track spend at an individual level.
  • Pull raw usage data anytime from your usage reports and the billing API.
