Note
If you have an active Copilot Pro or Copilot Pro+ plan, and are then assigned a seat as part of a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise plan, your personal Copilot plan will be automatically canceled. You will receive a prorated refund for any remaining portion of your personal plan's current billing cycle. You will then be able to continue using Copilot according to the policies set by your company.
If you want to try Copilot before subscribing, you can use GitHub Copilot Free for a limited experience. See About individual Copilot plans and benefits.
Managing requests in Copilot
Some Copilot features use premium requests, which count toward your monthly usage allowance. To learn how premium requests work, which features use them, and how to manage your usage, see Understanding and managing requests in Copilot.
Migrating between Copilot plans
When transitioning between different Copilot plans, you may encounter situations that require support.
Trial expiration notices
If you see a trial expiration notice but have an active paid subscription, this is a display issue and does not affect your access. If this persists, contact GitHub Support.
Migrations requiring support assistance
Some migrations cannot be completed through self-service options.
- Non-enterprise to enterprise environment migrations: When moving from standalone Copilot plans to a GitHub Enterprise environment, contact GitHub Support or your account manager for assistance to avoid service interruption.
- Changing between Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise: If you need to migrate between these plans within your enterprise and the option isn't available in your "Billing & Licensing" settings, contact GitHub Support or your account manager for assistance.
Allowance usage for Copilot coding agent
Within your monthly usage allowance for GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot premium requests, you can ask Copilot to work on coding tasks without incurring any additional costs.
When Copilot works on coding tasks, Copilot coding agent uses:
- GitHub Actions minutes from your account's monthly allowance of free minutes for GitHub-hosted runners.
This allowance of free minutes is shared with all GitHub Actions workflows in your account.
For details of the free minutes allowance for your GitHub plan, see About billing for GitHub Actions. - Premium requests from your account's monthly allowance of premium Copilot requests.
This allowance of free premium requests is shared with other Copilot features, such as Copilot Chat.
When you use Copilot coding agent, Copilot may make multiple premium requests to complete a single task. This includes both user-initiated prompts and follow-up actions Copilot takes on your behalf. The total premium requests used will depend on the complexity of the task and the number of steps involved. See Understanding and managing requests in Copilot.
For more information about Copilot coding agent, see About assigning tasks to Copilot.
What happens if you have used up your monthly quota?
If you run out of free Actions minutes or free premium requests, and you have set up a payment method for billing, you will be charged at the normal rates for additional minutes and premium requests. See About billing for GitHub Actions and Understanding and managing requests in Copilot.
If you run out of free minutes or premium requests, and you have not set up billing, a message is displayed explaining why Copilot cannot work on the task.
Monitoring your use of Actions minutes and premium requests
You can track your monthly usage of GitHub Actions minutes and premium requests, to help you get the most value from your Copilot plan. See Viewing your usage of metered products and Monitoring your Copilot usage and entitlements.
