GitHub has made Copilot budget increase requests generally available, allowing members who exhaust their AI credits to request more budget directly. Organization and enterprise owners can approve, adjust, or deny these requests from their settings, and the feature is available under usage-based billing for Copilot Business and Enterprise plans.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://github.blog/changelog/2026-09-16-copilot-budget-increase-requests-are-generally-available:

> Previously, when a member used all the Copilot AI credits available to them, they were blocked from Copilot features that consume credits. This release adds a flow for them to request more budget the moment they hit the limit.
