GitHub has introduced a new feature for Copilot Business and Enterprise users, enabling them to see their AI credit usage per billing cycle. Previously, users could only view usage as a percentage of a budget, which was unhelpful for those without one. The new system allows users to see their total AI credits utilized, even without set budgets, offering better context and understanding of their credit consumption.
Users can now see total AI credits used per billing cycle, offering clarity and context to their usage.
Unchanged: The option for admins to set budgets for tracking credits remains the same.
The mood is largely positive due to the added transparency and usability features that assist users in managing their AI credits effectively.
