About Copilot code review
GitHub Copilot can review your code and provide feedback. Where possible, Copilot's feedback includes suggested changes which you can apply with a couple of clicks.
Code review monthly quota
The review changes type of Copilot code review is a premium feature with a per-person monthly quota.
Note
The per-person quota for Copilot code review will commence on June 4, 2025.
When you assign Copilot as a reviewer for a pull request, one premium request is deducted from your monthly quota each time Copilot posts comments to the pull request. See About premium requests.
If a repository is configured to automatically request a code review from Copilot for all new pull requests, the premium request usage is applied to the quota of the pull request author. If a pull request is created by GitHub Actions or by a bot, the usage will apply to the user who triggered the workflow (if identifiable), or to a designated billing owner.
When you reach your monthly quota you will not be able to get a code review from Copilot until your quota resets—unless you upgrade your Copilot plan or enable additional premium requests.
Validating Copilot code reviews

Copilot isn't guaranteed to spot all problems or issues in a pull request, and sometimes it will make mistakes. Always validate Copilot's feedback carefully, and supplement Copilot's feedback with a human review.
