GitHub AI Credits

Copilot usage is measured in AI credits under usage-based billing. Each license contributes AI credits to a shared enterprise pool, and usage beyond the pool is charged at $0.01 USD per AI credit. Code completions and next edit suggestions are not billed in AI credits and remain unlimited for all paid plans.

For a full explanation of how AI credits work, including pooling, additional usage, and what happens when credits run out, see Usage-based billing for organizations and enterprises.

Seat assignment

A Copilot seat is a license to use GitHub Copilot for a user. Each month, your organization or enterprise is billed for the number of assigned seats.

Seat assignment is managed by enterprise or organization owners. With GitHub Enterprise Cloud, an enterprise owner must have enabled GitHub Copilot for the organization before an organization owner can assign seats. See 사용자에게 엔터프라이즈에서 GitHub Copilot에 대한 액세스 권한 부여 or 조직의 구성원에 대한 GitHub Copilot 대한 액세스 권한 부여.

If a user receives a seat from multiple organizations in the same enterprise, the enterprise will be billed only once, and one organization is selected and billed for the seat. To determine which organization is billed for a given user, request a detailed usage report and refer to the organization column for the user's Copilot license. See 청구 보고서 참조.

Billing cycles

Billed users are calculated at the end of each billing cycle, based on the number of GitHub Copilot seats that are assigned. You can add or remove seats at any time during the billing cycle.

When you add seats, you will be billed pro rata for those seats for the rest of the billing cycle. Included AI credits for the seats may also be prorated. If you pay by credit card or PayPal, you will need to pay a prorated amount upfront to cover the seats for the rest of the current billing cycle.

When you remove seats, billing for those seats continues until the end of the current billing cycle.

Managing costs

You can control AI credits spend using budget controls at the user, cost center, and enterprise level. For an overview of how budget controls work, see 사용량 기반 청구에 대한 예산. For guidance on choosing a configuration, see 예산 구성 최적화.
