// WHAT CHANGED IN 2026
Copilot added a metered layer. Deploying it is now a cost and governance problem, not just a licence.
The per-seat licence did not go away. Microsoft added usage-based billing on top of it. Copilot Credits meter the agentic features, Cowork runs background work that consumes them, and most teams still budget Copilot as a flat per-seat line. They learn the real number after the invoice lands. Deploying it well now means forecasting the variable spend and governing the agents before either gets away from you.
$0.01
per Copilot Credit
Metered agent actions add up fast. The math is the difference between a budget you defend and one you explain after the fact.
