You can connect an Azure subscription to your {% data variables.product.github %} account. When you do, charges for {% data variables.product.github %} products (such as {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, or {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %}) are billed through Azure instead of directly through {% data variables.product.github %}.
|
||
|
||
Connecting an Azure subscription allows you to consolidate invoices and manage {% data variables.product.github %} spending within your organization’s existing Azure billing processes.
|
||
|
||
For details on how to connect, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-the-plan-for-your-github-account/connecting-an-azure-subscription).
|
||
|
||
## Billing cycles and invoicing
|
||
|
||
* Azure billing periods run on a **calendar month**: from the first day to the last day of each month.
|
||
* Usage data from {% data variables.product.github %} is transmitted to Azure **daily**.
|
||
* Your charges for the month appear on your **Azure invoice at the start of the next month**.
|
||
|
||
If you enable Azure subscription billing in the middle of a {% data variables.product.github %} billing cycle:
|
||
|
||
* Usage before the switch is charged by {% data variables.product.github %} on your next {% data variables.product.github %} bill.
|
||
* Usage after the switch is charged by Azure, beginning from the date metered billing is enabled.
|
||
|
||
## Usage tracking
|
||
|
||
* Usage is measured daily and sent to Azure.
|
||
* The usage metric depends on the product:
|
||
|
||
* **Copilot:** Number of active seats.
|
||
* **Actions:** Minutes used.
|
||
* **Codespaces:** Compute hours used.
|
||
|
||
## Payment methods
|
||
|
||
When you pay through Azure, your organization’s standard Azure payment methods apply. You will not be billed separately by {% data variables.product.github %} for the connected products.
