GitHub Copilot Code Review to Burn Actions Minutes Starting June 1, 2026
GitHub has announced that Copilot code review will begin consuming GitHub Actions minutes on June 1, 2026. This applies to all paid Copilot plans: Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise. Public repository reviews remain free.
Billing Changes
- Each Copilot code review will be billed as AI Credits under the new usage-based billing model.
- Additionally, reviews on private repositories will consume GitHub Actions minutes from your plan entitlement. Excess usage is billed at standard GitHub Actions rates.
- Self-hosted and larger hosted runners are billed at different rates.
- Admins can set budgets to control spending.
What to Do
- Review current Actions usage and budgets in billing settings.
- Monitor usage via Copilot usage metrics and Actions metrics.
- Share this update with billing admins and engineering leads.
Until June 1, 2026, Copilot code reviews only draw from your PRU (Premium Request Unit) allowance and do not consume Actions minutes.
