Summary:
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.
Details:
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.
