+
+## Free use of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}
+
+There are several ways to use {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} for free.
+
+### {% data variables.copilot.copilot_free_short %}
+
+* Provides limited access to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features at no cost.
+* Includes a monthly allowance of completions and premium requests.
+* Intended for **individual use only** (not suitable for organizations or enterprises).
+* For usage beyond the free plan limits, upgrade to {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_short %}.
+
+### 30-day trial for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_short %}
+
+* Before starting a paid plan for a personal account, you can activate a **one-time 30-day trial**. [Start using {% data variables.copilot.copilot_free_short %}](https://github.com/copilot).
+* You must choose a monthly or yearly billing cycle and provide a payment method.
+* If you do not cancel before the end of the trial, it automatically converts to a paid plan.
+* You can cancel any time during the 30 days. If you cancel, you will not be charged and will keep access until the trial ends.
+
+### Educational and open source benefits
+
+* {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_short %} is free for verified students, teachers, and maintainers of popular open source projects. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-copilot-as-an-individual-subscriber/getting-started-with-copilot-on-your-personal-account/getting-free-access-to-copilot-pro-as-a-student-teacher-or-maintainer).
+
+## How usage of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} licenses is measured
+
+Usage of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} licenses is measured by the number of seats used.
+
+### Personal accounts
+
+* You choose monthly or yearly billing.
+* Plan changes (upgrades, downgrades, or switching between monthly and yearly) take effect immediately, with proration applied where relevant.
+* Canceling a monthly plan keeps access until the end of the cycle; yearly plans run until the end of the paid term.
+
+For details on billing and proration, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/billing/billing-for-individuals).
+
+### Organizations and enterprises
+
+* A seat is a license for one user.
+* Organizations and enterprises are billed for the number of assigned seats at the end of each monthly billing cycle.
+* If a user has seats in multiple organizations within the same enterprise, the enterprise is only billed once per cycle.
+* If both a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %} and a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %} seat are assigned, only the enterprise seat is billed.
+
+For more information about seat assignment, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/seat-assignment).
+
+## Using more than your plan's included seats
+
+Individual plans are tied to a single account and can’t include additional seats. To license multiple users, upgrade to an organizational plan.
+
+For **organizations and enterprises**:
+
+* You can assign additional {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} seats at any time.
+* Additional seats are billed immediately on a prorated basis for the rest of the current billing cycle.
+* Assigned users gain access to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features right away.
+
+For details about how added seats are billed, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/license-changes).
+
+## Paying for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} licenses
+
+You pay for additional licenses using the payment method set up for your {% data variables.product.github %} account. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/how-tos/set-up-payment/manage-payment-info).
+
+## Managing your budget for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} licenses
+
+To help manage your budget for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} licenses, consider the following strategies.
+
+### Personal accounts
+
+* You can set budgets for your personal account to receive email alerts at 75%, 90%, and 100% of the budget.
+* Budgets help you monitor spending but do not stop license charges.
+
+For more information about using budgets to control spending, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-your-billing/using-budgets-control-spending).
+
+### Organizations and enterprises
+
+* Owners and billing managers can set budgets at the organization or enterprise level, or by cost center.
+* Budgets for licenses are monitoring-only: spending can exceed the budget, but alerts notify you when thresholds are reached.
+* Use cost centers to track spending across teams or initiatives.
+
+For more information about managing company spending, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/spending/manage-company-spending).

+
+Usage of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} is measured through a combination of licenses and monthly usage tracking. For more information about how license costs in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} work, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/concepts/product-billing/github-copilot-licenses).
+
+## What are premium requests?
+
+Some {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features use premium requests.
+Premium requests give you access to advanced models and additional AI features.
+
+Examples include:
+
+* Using {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} with premium models
+* Large context windows or advanced reasoning models
+* Features like {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}
+
+See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/billing/copilot-requests) for details on which models and features consume premium requests.
+
+## How usage of premium requests is measured
+
+Usage of premium requests is tracked monthly and is based on the following factors.
+
+### Monthly allowance
+
+* Each plan includes a fixed number of premium requests per user per month.
+* Allowances vary by plan. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/about-github-copilot/subscription-plans-for-github-copilot).
+* Allowances reset on the 1st of each month at 00:00:00 UTC.
+
+### Multiple licenses
+
+If you receive licenses from multiple enterprises, you must choose which entity is billed for your premium requests. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/understanding-and-managing-copilot-usage/monitoring-your-copilot-usage-and-entitlements#managing-premium-request-billing-with-multiple-copilot-licenses).
+
+### Usage by premium models
+
+* Each interaction that uses a premium model consumes from your allowance.
+* Some models use **multipliers**, meaning a single interaction may count as multiple premium requests.
+* For example, advanced reasoning models may consume 5× or 20× the standard rate.
+* If you exceed your allowance and overages are enabled, extra usage is billed at the standard rate.
+
+### Usage by {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}
+
+When you use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}, both **{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes** and **premium requests** are consumed:
+
+* **{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes** come from your account’s monthly allowance of free minutes for {% data variables.product.github %}-hosted runners. This allowance is shared with all {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflows. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions#included-storage-and-minutes).
+* **Premium requests** come from your monthly allowance of premium {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} requests. This allowance is shared with other features, such as {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %}.
+
+Each coding agent **session** consumes one premium request. A session begins when you ask {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to create a pull request or make one or more changes to an existing pull request.
+
+If you run out of free minutes or premium requests, and you have _not_ set up billing, a message is displayed explaining why {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} cannot work on the task.
+
+For more information about {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/about-copilot-coding-agent).
+
+## Using more than your included premium requests
+
+If you exceed your plan's included premium requests, there are options available depending on your account type.
+
+### Personal accounts
+
+If you exceed your allowance, set a budget for additional premium requests or upgrade to a higher plan. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-your-billing/using-budgets-control-spending).
+
+### Organizations and enterprises
+
+* Admins can control whether members are allowed to exceed their allowance using the **Premium request paid usage** policy. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/manage-and-track-spending/manage-request-allowances).
+* Budgets can be set to either monitor or block overages.
+* Enterprises can also upgrade frequent users to {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %} for higher included allowances.
+
+## Paying for premium requests
+
+Additional usage is charged to the payment method configured for your {% data variables.product.github %} account.
+
+If you are billed through Azure, premium request usage appears on your Azure invoice. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-the-plan-for-your-github-account/connecting-an-azure-subscription).
+
+## Managing your budget for premium requests
+
+To help manage your budget for premium requests, consider the following strategies.
+
+### Personal accounts
+
+You can set a budget in your personal billing settings to receive alerts when you reach 75%, 90%, or 100% of your budget.
+
+### Organizations and enterprises
+
+You can set budgets at the organization, enterprise, or cost center level. If you enable **stop usage when budget is reached**, extra premium requests are blocked when the budget runs out.
+
+{% data reusables.copilot.zero-budget-changes-link %}
+
+## Monitoring usage
+
+* Track your monthly usage in your IDE, in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} settings on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, or by downloading a usage report.
+* Usage reports show all premium requests, both within and beyond the allowance, and can be used to identify high-usage users.
+
+For more information about monitoring your usage, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/understanding-and-managing-copilot-usage/monitoring-your-copilot-usage-and-entitlements).
