Copilot: what changed

          
    
            
  • Copilot plans transition to AI Credits billing on June 1, 2026.
    • 
            
  • Base seat prices stay unchanged, but premium usage is calculated from input, output, and cached tokens at listed API rates.
    • 
            
  • Code review can consume both GitHub Actions minutes and AI Credits.
    • 
            
  • Exhausted pooled credits depend on the additional-usage policy; exhausted user budgets do not automatically fall back to cheaper models.
    • 
          

        

        
Use existing worksheet Copilot AI Credits worksheet for preview-bill math, procurement language, and post-promo exposure checks.
