Microsoft Copilot Studio: Introducing the pre-purchase plan (P3)

Microsoft Copilot Studio launches a Pre-Purchase Plan (P3) on November 1, 2025, offering annual prepaid Commit Units with discounts, a single usage meter across Copilot Studio, Dynamics 365, and Moveworks, MACC eligibility, and Pay-As-You-Go overage billing. Preparation includes choosing credit options and aligning budgets. We’re launching a Pre-Purchase Plan (P3) for Microsoft Copilot Studio: a prepaid capacity option on Azure rails. This plan is Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC)-eligible, offers annual commitment discounts, auto-monetizes overages at Pay-As-You-Go (PayGo) rates, and uses a single external meter that spans Copilot Studio, Dynamics 365 out-of-box (OOB) agents, and Moveworks OOB agents. Usage is externally reported under M365—Productivity & Business Process KPI. When this will happen: Customer availability begins November 1, 2025. How this will affect your organization: Who’s affected: IT administrators Procurement and finance teams (MACC) Platform owners for Copilot Studio, D365 OOB, and MW OOB What’s changing: Purchase annual, prepaid Commit Units (CU) with tiered discounts; overages billed at PayGo rates A single meter aggregates usage across Copilot Studio, D365 OOB, and MW OOB MACC is decremented at purchase; revenue is recognized upon consumption; unconsumed credits are recognized in the final month Copilot credit options (CU ↔ credits):    Standard P3 (fastest): 1 CU = $1 Example: 3,000 CU list price = $3,000; sold at $2,850 (5% discount) Converts to 300,000 credits at $0.01/credit    Custom P3 (developer-friendly): 1 CU = $0.01 (CU ≡ Copilot Credit) Example: 300,000 CU (credits) list price = $3,000; sold at $2,850 (5% discount) Longer lead time (non-standard)    P3 Mechanics: 1-year prepaid, use-it-or-lose-it, auto-renewing model Overage billed at PayGo Revenue recognized as consumed; remaining credits recognized in the final month What you can do to prepare: Additional Information: Choose between Standard and Custom CU mapping Align MACC and budget with forecasted consumption Review procurement processes for annual prepay and auto-renew Coordinate with platform owners to leverage the single meter Usage across Copilot Studio, D365 OOB, and MW OOB is metered together and reported under M365 Custom P3 offers intuitive credit mapping but requires longer implementation lead time Message ID: MC1181771
