Microsoft says new Microsoft 365 Copilot Business licenses purchased through the Cloud Solution Provider channel will have usage-based billing enabled by default starting December 1, 2026, a date pushed back from November 2. The default spending limit is 4,000 Copilot Credits per user per month, with charges based on actual consumption of eligible pay-as-you-go features; admins can adjust the limit. If you’re adding Copilot Business seats through a partner, set credit limits before the seats go live and confirm in your quote how usage-based charges will be billed.
