01 · About
What this session covers
GitHub Copilot’s premium request units have been replaced by GitHub AI Credits — consumed based on token usage (input, output, and cached tokens) at each model’s published rate. Base plan pricing hasn’t changed: Copilot Business still includes $19/user/month in AI Credits, Copilot Enterprise $39/user/month.
02 · Budget Architecture
Structure budgets around the enterprise.
Walk through the budget layers GitHub provides across Enterprise, Organization, Cost Center and User levels, and understand how those layers work together.
03 · Spend Governance
Set guardrails without slowing teams down.
Learn where to monitor spend, how to attribute usage, and how to set practical controls that keep costs visible without creating unnecessary friction for developers.
04 · Smart Adoption
Turn visibility into better decisions.
Review usage patterns, align guardrails, and give engineering leaders, IT admins and budget owners a clearer basis for enabling Copilot across development teams.
