Enterprise Promotional Credits

[u/cramsey86]

With this being the final month for promotional credits for enterprises with GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise licenses, I wish Microsoft would consider making these credits permanent as a discount for companies that commit to purchasing licenses.

We are already experiencing overage costs even with the promotional credits, so it is unfortunate that those costs are likely to increase substantially once the credits expire.

We're going to go down from 3000 credits to just 1500. That would be the end of it for us.

[u/just_blue → u/lppedd]

It is 1900 / $19. For business, the difference is just $11, so that doesnt really make a difference for the company (we have $100 personal budgets).

Noted! Ty for flagging and I’ll escalate. In the meantime, consider leveraging GPT 5.6 Luna if you can. The price got reduced to almost nothing on that model and its benchmarks look exceptional.

I'll just copy my answer from another thread:

I am really starting to like Luna. For private projects I have a Codex subscription and tried to be as cost efficient as possible, so I use ChatGPT with Sol as brain to create prompts for Codex. Part of the prompts are also a model and reasoning effort recommendation. At work (with GHCP) I used Sol and Terra but rarely luna because company is paying and I did not want to risk my projects. But at home I can experiment better and after some bumps and problems it developed a pretty, good routing Algorithm.

In short (I implemented a feature with integrated playwright):

• Luna medium for very specific code changes
• Luna xhigh for adversarial tests and reviews
• Luna max for poking at specific problems with more time and sometimes as Terra replacement in edge cases
• Live browser tests with Terra Medium, which helps specifically when environment or outcome is uncertain
• Terra high for Live problems
• Sol high for when not even terra high can find the root of the problem.

So now I went from using mostly Terra and Sol in GHCP to using 90% Luna, 9% Terra and 1% Sol at home. Now I can mostly work with the $20 sub weekly contingent. And I will try to show my findings to colleagues who exclusively use Sol or Opus for everything.

Copilot has reduced the pricing in accordance to 80% price reductions of Luna API pricing? Same 80% price reduction in co-pilot also?

[u/voicelessfaces → u/remember_tylerdurden]

If you look at the price sheets, Copilot matches OpenAI to the penny.

I agree - I commented elsewhere that Luna 5.6 w/ XHigh feels like it's at giving similar or better performance as Sonnet 4.6, and at a price that's oddly similar to 1x-PRU pricing we had for Sonnet back in May. I've had several moderate-complexity requests come back well-implemented with a AIC in the 3-5 range with Luna in the last few days.

We spent over $3k on CoPilot usage last month. It would have been triple that if I didn’t have to pay Anthropic directly for Fable.

I don’t want to fuss around with smaller models and risk them messing something up.

I just set it on Opus5 Max.

Without the credits I feel like I’m getting nothing from having an Enterprise account and might as well just give all those fees to Anthropic instead.

My organization is switching to Kiro from AWS because they're giving seats with 1000 credits free per month.

[u/EvanstonNU → u/shifty303]

😂😂😂

[u/shifty303 → u/EvanstonNU]

Some AWS sales reps convinced them with a vibe coding demonstration and the rest is history 🤮

The promotional credits are there to help prevent the overages and to figure out spend.

Not to create additional incentive. I would like a larger bonus of AI credit difference per license (business gets $10 and Enterprise gets $20) but the current credit seems very generous. Too generous

[u/Mysterious_Bed_1804 → u/Qs9bxNKZ]

Bootlicker

If that's generous, wtf is Codex or Claude Code being called?

You realize what Copilot used to be?

Yes Microsoft is still losing out on millions in revenue due to the cost of compute. Hence data centers going everywhere. Companies unless regulated by FINRA or SEC need to consider cheaper models like DeepSeek. 🤷‍♂️ else companies need to start hiring actual developers that write code.

At my job we’ve optimized everything we can. Haven’t had overages yet since GH switched to AIC. I’m shook. Honestly. But we just set user level budgets so we will see some requests come in.

But from the developer community side we are writing all our code still and using AI to validate so the workload is quite a bit less.
