Summary

Full exclusive on the Copilot token-billing transition. Announcement April 23, rollout June 2026. Business: $19/user/month with $30 pooled AI credits. Enterprise: $39/user/month with $70 pooled AI credits. Individual Pro/Pro+ fate unclear but new signups already suspended. Moves from request-based (Pro: 300/month, Pro+: 1,500/month) to token-consumption billing. First major vendor to publicly quantify the per-seat AI credit bundle.

Implications

The $30/$70 credit numbers are the first concrete data on what vendors think agent usage costs per seat. If $30 buys ~6M input tokens at GPT-5.4 rates, that’s roughly 10-20 substantive agent sessions per month — far less than power users consume. Enterprise gets 2.3x the credits for 2x the price, confirming the two-tier extraction pattern. Combined with the April 24 data training deadline (tomorrow), Copilot users face token billing + data harvesting simultaneously. Enterprise exempt from both.
