This article provides information about how Copilot metered billing works when you connect an Azure subscription to your organization or enterprise account.
Metered billing activation
- When you connect your Azure subscription and enable metered billing, usage data begins flowing from GitHub to Azure.
- Any Copilot usage from the start of your current GitHub billing cycle up to the point when you enable metered billing via Azure will be billed through GitHub on your next billing date.
- Usage from the date Azure metered billing is enabled through to the end of that calendar month will be charged via Azure, and appears on your Azure invoice at the start of the next month.
For more information, see Connecting an Azure subscription.
Usage tracking and invoicing
- Usage data is transmitted from GitHub to Azure daily.
- You can track daily usage (number of seats) in Azure.
- Actual billing and payments are processed monthly, based on the number of seats used during that calendar month.
