Calculating committer spending

The following example timeline demonstrates the events during a month that affect billing for {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} in an enterprise. For each month, you will find events, the total committer count, and the total number of committers that {% data variables.product.company_short %} would bill for.

Date	Events during the month	Total committer count	Committers billed for the month
August 1	A member of your enterprise enables {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} for repository X. Repository X has 50 committers over the past 90 days.	50	50
September 5	Developer A leaves the team working on repository X. Developer A's contributions continue to count for 90 days.	50	50
September 8	Developer B pushes a commit to repository X for the first time. Developer B's usage is pro-rated, because the developer began contributing to repository X partway through the month.	50 + 1 51	50 + 0.8 50.8
October and November	Developer A's contributions to repository X continue to count because the contributions were within the past 90 days. {% data variables.product.company_short %} now bills for developer B for the entire month because developer B now has contributions within the past 90 days.	51	51
December 4	90 days have passed since developer A's last contribution to repository _X. The 90 days lapsed after December started, so {% data variables.product.company_short %} bills for developer A for the entire month.	51 - 1 50	51
December 11	Developer C joins the company and pushes a commit to repository X for the first time. Developer C's usage is pro-rated at 70% for 21 out of 30 days.	50 + 1 51	51 + .07 51.7
January	{% data variables.product.company_short %} no longer bills for developer A. {% data variables.product.company_short %} bills for developer C for the entire month.	51	51
February 15	A member of your enterprise disables {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} for repository X. The 51 contributors to repository X do not work in any other repositories with {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %}. {% data variables.product.company_short %} bills for the developers' usage in repository X for February.	51 - 51 0	51
March	No repository owned by your enterprise has {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} enabled.	0	0
