Allison covers GitHub’s upcoming removal of Copilot premium request budgets for enterprise and team accounts, detailing the policy change and steps for administrators.

Removal of Copilot Premium Request Budgets for Enterprise and Team Accounts

GitHub is set to remove the Copilot premium request budgets for enterprise and team accounts created before August 22, 2025, starting November 18, 2025.

Who Is Affected?

  • Enterprise and organization accounts with an account-level Copilot premium request budget created before August 22, 2025.
  • Pro and Pro+ Copilot users are not affected and will retain budgets by default.

Why Is This Change Happening?

  • Granular Controls with Less Complexity: Each AI tool (e.g., coding agent, Spark) will have its own SKU for premium request usage. Retaining the budget model would require manual management for each tool, increasing administrative overhead as the AI portfolio grows.
  • Simplifies Billing: Removing the budget reduces friction, streamlining administration for account owners when scaling Copilot usage.

What Do Admins Need to Do?

  • Review and, if needed, update your premium request paid usage policy in GitHub Copilot settings.
  • Paid usage can be disabled at any time through the Copilot policy controls.

Summary

Administrators should review their Copilot paid usage policies ahead of November 18, 2025, to ensure seamless usage management after the budget model is retired. This change provides improved billing clarity and paves the way for more granular management of Copilot and other GitHub AI tool consumption.
