Giúp TÔi quản lý sắp xếp. Chờ tôi học thêm chứ bây giờ nói tôi quản lý. Thì không thể , Hãy giúp tôi nhé. Tôi chưa đăng ký công ty chưa có mã để hoàn tất thủ thục đăng ký. CHọn giá thì bên lựa giúp luôn chứ không biết. Do hôm nọ không rõ ràng nên em mới nâng giá chứ không phải là kiếm lợi nhuận. Mong chờ 1 câu giải thích mà cũng không ai giải thích |

You seem to be saying: It's you idiots who don't know how to use it. |

However, while you were reducing the quota, you were also adding a full-screen Agent mode to VSCode. |

The whole point of Copilot was precisely that no one had to worry about token usage, etc. You keep claiming that we don’t know how to use agents, that our queries are suboptimal, and that we can’t manage our budget. Well, your only advantage over others was that none of us wasted time on that. But as usual, when you have something good, you manage to completely ruin it. You really aren’t the only ones, and in this case, you aren’t competitive at all. Developers will now have to flip a coin with every prompt to see how many tokens Copilot demands. |

I think the core issue for me isn't the price of AI Credits. It's that I don't really understand the unit I'm being billed for. As developers, we're used to billing models that expose measurable units. In Azure I can see vCPU hours, storage consumed, transactions, executions, requests, bandwidth, etc. Even if the pricing model is complicated, I can usually build a mental model of what drives cost and make informed decisions. With AI Credits, I don't have that understanding yet. A few questions that would help:
To use an Azure comparison, imagine if Virtual Machines were labeled only as "Low Cost", "Medium Cost", and "High Cost" without exposing the underlying pricing units. You could still use the service, but it would be pretty difficult to make cost-effective decisions. I don't need an exact prediction for every request. I just need enough transparency to understand what actually drives credit consumption so I can use the platform intentionally and avoid surprises. |

Also, I really don't need a webinar to tell me how billing works. I need it in writing, because that's how my management will expect it. |

This is exactly the missing piece for many developers and teams. The problem is not only usage-based billing itself. Developers can work with usage-based pricing when the unit is understandable and measurable. With AI agents, the cost driver is harder to reason about because one visible request may include:
Without a clear mapping between those drivers and credits, it is hard for teams to plan usage or explain costs to management. I agree that written documentation matters more than a webinar here. Teams need something they can reference later: what is counted, how retries are billed, how models differ, what controls exist, and how to estimate cost before a run starts. For agentic coding, I think the most useful metric would be cost per completed task, not just credits consumed per prompt. |

Now that GitHub Copilot has moved to a usage-based billing model, we know many users are thinking carefully about what this change means for themselves, their teams, their budgets, and the way they support developers at scale.
To help you navigate this shift, we're hosting Usage-Based Billing with Confidence, a two-part workshop series covering both the billing platform controls available to manage spend and the agent quality and token optimization strategies that drive efficient usage.
Sessions are scheduled across multiple time zones to be globally inclusive, and on-demand recordings will be available for anyone who registers.
Workshop 1: GitHub Billing Platform Controls
How to monitor and manage Copilot spend without slowing innovation. You'll learn how to:
Workshop 2: Agent Quality & Token Optimization
Token cost is only the surface problem — the real challenge is agent quality. If your agent misses, your token strategy has already failed. This session digs into:
Who this is for:
Whether you're an engineering leader, platform team member, administrator, or someone helping your organization manage Copilot adoption, these workshops are meant to help you feel more informed and confident.
Register here:
We hope you'll join us, bring your questions, and leave with a clearer understanding of how to set your organization up for success.
