Copilot Billing Preview app will be retired on August 3
TL;DR
GitHub will retire the Copilot Billing Preview app on August 3, 2026. Teams using it to review Copilot spend are being moved to GitHub billing settings. The built-in AI usage page now supports grouping, filtering and exporting AI credit data. GitHub also points admins to usage reports and the billing API for raw data. For organizations and enterprises, GitHub highlights budgets, cost centers, usage pools and user-level budgets as features the preview app cannot fully represent anymore.
Nauti's Take
Small teams should check before August 3 whether their old Preview app reports still answer the practical questions: spend by team, user-level spikes, and exports for finance. If you use budgets or cost centers, compare the new AI usage page with the billing API before old dashboards quietly go stale.
Briefingshow
Copilot spend is becoming more granular, but also harder to explain cleanly. Once budgets, cost centers and usage pools shape the bill, a preview dashboard is no longer enough. Admins should check before August 3 which reports, exports or internal chargeback workflows still depend on the old app.
