[!IMPORTANT] Starting June 1, 2026, {% data variables.product.github %} is moving {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} from request-based billing to usage-based billing. See AUTOTITLE and AUTOTITLE.

The pricing tables below reflect the new usage-based billing rates that will take effect on June 1, 2026.

How model pricing works

When you use {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, the interaction consumes tokens: input tokens (what's sent to the model), output tokens (what the model generates), and cached tokens (context the model reuses or stores). Each token is priced based on the model used, and the total is converted into {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %}, where 1 {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credit_singular %} = {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_value %}.

The cost of an interaction depends on two things: the model and the number of tokens consumed.

How {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} usage is tracked and billed depends on your plan type:

• Individual plans ({% data variables.copilot.copilot_free_short %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_short %}, and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_plus_short %}) include {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits %} allowances that vary by plan. For details, see AUTOTITLE.
• {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %} and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %} include per-user {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits %} allowances that are pooled at the billing entity level. For details, see AUTOTITLE.

When usage exceeds the included allowances for any {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} plan, additional usage is billed in {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits %} at the per-token rates shown in the pricing tables below (1 {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credit_singular %} = {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_value %}).

Pricing and usage cost considerations for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %}

For most {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features, the model used for each interaction is visible to you, so you can reference the pricing tables above to estimate costs. {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} is an exception—the model is selected automatically and is not disclosed, so per-token costs may vary between reviews.

Each code review is billed in two ways: token consumption is billed in {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %}, and the agentic infrastructure that powers the review consumes {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes.

Starting June 1, 2026, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} runs will consume {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-hosted runners. Self-hosted runners do not consume {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes. Larger runners are billed at different rates than standard {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-hosted runners. For more information on runner options, see AUTOTITLE.

You can view your current {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} in the following ways:

• {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} metrics: Filter by the copilot-pull-request-reviewer workflow. See AUTOTITLE.
• Billing usage report: Filter by workflow_path. Before June 1, 2026, the value is dynamic/copilot-pull-request-reviewer/copilot-pull-request-reviewer. Starting June 1, 2026, the value changes to dynamic/agents/copilot-pull-request-reviewer. See AUTOTITLE.

Model multipliers for annual {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_short %} and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_plus_short %} subscribers

Starting June 1, 2026, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_short %} and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_plus_short %} subscribers who choose to remain on existing annual billing plans and stay on the request-based billing model will experience changes to model multipliers. See AUTOTITLE.
