Introduction of Copilot Pay-as-you-go Feature in M365 Admin Center

Admins will soon manage Copilot Pay-as-you-go billing for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat directly in the M365 Admin Center, starting late March 2025. This feature eliminates the need to use the Power Platform Admin Center, streamlining billing processes and enhancing control and visibility for admin users. In late March, we plan to introduce a new feature in the M365 Admin Center that allows admins to manage the Copilot Pay-as-you-go option for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. This will enable M365 Copilot Chat users to utilize agents and be billed based on their consumption. With this feature, admin users do not have to navigate to the Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC) for setting up billing for Copilot services. Admin roles that have access to Copilot settings will be able to manage pay-as-you-go (Global admin, AI admin, and read-only access for Global reader). When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide): We will be rolling out this feature in late March 2025. How this will affect your organization: Admin users will be able to manage billing for M365 Copilot Chat directly in the M365 Admin Center, without needing to navigate to PPAC. They can set up billing for the Copilot Chat experience, turn off billing, edit billing for unhealthy subscriptions, and view costs in the M365 Admin Center. This will streamline the billing process and provide more control and visibility for admin users. To access go to Copilot > Settings > Copilot pay-as-you-go billing: View image in new tab What you need to do to prepare: Admins should familiarize themselves with the new billing management capabilities in the M365 Admin Center. They should review their current billing setup and make any necessary adjustments to take advantage of the new feature. Additionally, admins should communicate the changes to relevant team members and ensure they are aware of the new capabilities and how to use them. Message ID: MC1028998
