Copilot code review for Azure Repos uses AI-credit billing without Copilot licences

GitHub's Azure Repos technical preview allows accepted Azure DevOps customers to request Copilot code reviews without assigning Copilot licences and bills usage through GitHub AI credits.

Technical preview

Commercial transition

Previous stateAzure Repos customers lacked the preview integration and its licence-independent AI-credit billing path.
→
New statePreview participants can request reviews without Copilot licences; usage is billed as AI credits outside credits included with existing Copilot plans.

Who is affected

Azure DevOps organisations accepted into the preview and financial owners paying GitHub AI-credit charges.

Action required

Track preview usage separately, set budgets and do not model GA pricing from the preview as fixed.

Evidence boundary

Billing began on 2 June 2026, but GitHub does not publish a fixed per-review amount, GA date or final GA pricing and explicitly says pricing may change.
