Summary

Starting June 2025, Microsoft 365 administrators can set up pay-as-you-go billing for SharePoint Agents via the Copilot Control System. Admins must disable legacy tenant-level billing, create new billing policies, and connect these policies to SharePoint Agents for departmental chargeback and billing.

Introducing pay-as-you-go departmental billing for SharePoint Agents in Copilot Control System.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): Starting early June 2025, M365 Administrators can set up Pay-as-you-go for SharePoint Agents via Copilot Control System. Administrators can add billing polices and connect to SharePoint Agents to establish departmental chargeback and billing.

How this will affect your organization:

Admins can set up Pay-as-you-go for SharePoint Agents in Copilot under “Billing & usage”. They can connect Billing Policies to SharePoint Agents, allowing end users within those policies to use SharePoint Agents.


What you need to do to prepare:

Before applying billing policies to SharePoint Agents in Copilot Control System, customers who have already set up SharePoint Agents for consumptive billing must:

  1. Turn off the legacy tenant-level pay-as-you-go for SharePoint Agents from Copilot -> Billing & usage.
  2. Create the required Billing Policy
  3. Connect the Billing Policy to SharePoint Agents
