Update on GitHub Copilot Consumptive Billing for GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency

Author: Allison

Overview

GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers who utilize data residency and have a paid GitHub Copilot plan will now encounter consumptive billing for premium request usage. This change primarily affects organizations using Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise plans.


What’s Changed

  • Consumptive Billing Expansion:
    • GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC) users with data residency and a Copilot plan now have a monthly allowance of premium Copilot requests per user.
    • If premium request usage exceeds the monthly allowance, customers will incur additional charges. The amount charged depends on the premium models and features used.

What’s Unchanged

  • This change only expands consumptive billing to data residency users on GHEC.
  • The terms, details, and management of premium requests otherwise remain the same as previously documented.
