GitHub Copilot
Usage-Based Billing Readiness Sessions
GitHub Copilot's billing model is changing from Premium Request Units (PRUs) to GitHub AI Credits — an evolution of their model to better reflect actual usage and to create a more sustainable structure. But what's changing?
We're a GitHub verified partner offering two focused 1-hour sessions to get your leadership informed and your developers prepared of upcoming shifting needs:
- Stakeholder & admin readiness (standalone session, 1 hour)
- User token optimization (add on session(s), 1 hour)
Sessions are delivered live by one of our expert certified GitHub Copilot Instructors and additional Support Personnel. They are interactive sessions with realtime support and global time zone coverage.

Get ready for GitHub Copilot's new usage-based billing
A free 5-Step checklist to prepare your organization
For most organizations, the first question will not be “What is a token?” It
will be much more practical: What does this mean for our teams, our
budget, and our day-to-day Copilot usage?
Our bill is increasing 42%. Here’s how we’re optimizing it.
Stakeholder & Admin Readiness 1 Hour Session
This session gives the people responsible for Copilot governance a clear picture of what's changing, what it means for budget, and what actions to take.
What's covered:
- What changes and what doesn't
- How token-based costs work
- Reading your usage data, and how to treat the preview as a planning tool, not an invoice
- Budget guardrails — the four-layer system, alert thresholds, and two critical behavior changes
- The promotional transition window — June–August, and how to use this period to baseline, tune, and prepare
- Before/during/after launch checklist — what to do now, what to monitor, and how to report to engineering and finance
Token Optimization 1 Hour Session
This session gives Copilot users a practical understanding of how their daily Copilot habits connect to AI Credit consumption — and techniques to get better results without burning unnecessary credits.
What's covered:
- What changed and why it matters for day-to-day use
- How tokens accumulate in practice
- Always-on and path-level instructions — write lean instruction files that guide without inflating overhead
- Context management in Agent mode — providing as much context as required, as little as necessary
- Custom agents and MCPs — how scoped agents with restricted tool-sets only pay for what they actually need
- Five habits that reduce waste without slowing down
