About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about Copilot Credits center on Microsoft's June 2026 launch of Copilot Cowork, a usage-based AI agent for Microsoft 365. Copilot Credits are metered units that enterprises must purchase alongside a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to run autonomous, multi-step tasks across Office apps. The shift from flat per-seat pricing to consumption-based billing is a recurring theme, with IT administrators facing new governance, cost management, and compliance challenges. Topics include admin controls, agent automation, and potential lower-cost AI model options like DeepSeek. The tag covers enterprise AI pricing, billing models, and operational impacts of agentic AI in Microsoft 365.
