Microsoft now offers a high-usage PAYG report to help identify users who are approaching the cost of a Microsoft 365 Copilot Business license, making license assignment worth considering.
Microsoft Purview DLP for Fabric products and generative AI apps in Microsoft Edge will require a Pay-as-You-Go billing model starting at the end of October 2025.
Microsoft is retiring Pay-as-you-go billing for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat in the Power Platform admin center. From 3 October 2025, all new PAYG plans must be created in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Microsoft 365 Pay-as-you-go now includes budget limits, allowing admins to set thresholds, get alerts, and track spending. But these are not hard limits, services keep running and costs can still rise, leaving organizations without true budget enforcement.
You should not trust the cost management overview in the Microsoft 365 admin center for Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) services.
Microsoft provides information on the consumption and costs of Pay-as-you-go billing (for Syntex, SharePoint Premium, and Copilot agents) via Azure Export. Administrators can export this information as a report or with PowerShell.
