Pay before you code, from Sept 1
New Copilot Business and Enterprise seats must be paid before anyone can use them — Sept 1 for new signups, Oct 1 for existing card and PayPal customers. Seats bill upfront each cycle, usage past the included allowance is charged on top, and dropping a seat mid-cycle earns no prorated refund.
Code review defaults to 'Balanced' on Sept 28
Copilot's automatic code review switches its default effort from Lite to Balanced on Sept 28 — deeper passes, but each one spends more premium requests against your quota. Want the lighter, cheaper review? Set 'Lite' explicitly before the date.
