GitHub Pre-Purchase Plans

Microsoft announce two new GitHub Pre-Purchase Plans.

The first is just for GitHub AI Credits to pay for overage for GitHub Copilot, but the second covers usage across the GitHub portfolio – so you could cover monthly license costs for GitHub Enterprise or GitHub Copilot, as well as GitHub AI Credits.

GitHub usage-based billing

Microsoft announce that from August 1, 2024 GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Advanced Security are available to be billed through an Azure Subscription for CSP and MCA-E customers. Billing is on a usage basis – if a user starts consuming a licence seat during a month, then customers pay on a prorated basis for that month with no commitment for future months. EA customers who have been able to purchase regular User SLs for these services can continue to do so if they want to.
