Use of {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} incurs three types of costs for an organization:
- {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes
- {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits %}
- Active and unique committers
{% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} scans run as {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflows and consume {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes, unless you use self-hosted runners. See AUTOTITLE.
{% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} features that use AI models consume {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} from your shared {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} pool, rather than a separate {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} allowance. Each interaction is priced based on the number of tokens consumed, where 1 {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credit_singular %} = {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_value %}.

For more information about how {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} work, see AUTOTITLE.
{% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} is a standalone product with its own license, and does not consume {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} or any other product's licenses. {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} bots are ignored. For information about differences between bot and machine accounts, see AUTOTITLE.
- Your license usage is calculated based on the number of unique, active committers to repositories with {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} enabled.
- Each active committer uses one {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} license.
- A committer is considered active if one of their commits has been pushed to the repository within the last 90 days, regardless of when it was originally authored.
- A committer is considered active if one of their commits has been pushed to the repository within the last 90 days, regardless of when it was originally authored.
To understand your license usage, and which licenses you can free up, it helps to distinguish between active and unique committers. You can see the number of licenses you're using on the Licensing page for your organization or enterprise, shown as "Consumed licenses":
- Active committers are committers who contributed to at least one repository and have a {% data variables.product.prodname_team %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} license with your organization or enterprise. This includes members, enterprise-managed users, external collaborators, and people with a pending invitation to join your organization or enterprise.
- Unique committers is the number of active committers who contributed only to one repository, or only to repositories in one organization. You can free up this number of licenses by disabling {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} for that repository or organization.
Users can contribute to multiple repositories or organizations. Usage is measured across the whole organization or enterprise to ensure that each member uses one license regardless of how many repositories or organizations the user contributes to.
