Enhanced billing platform for enterprises

Starting today, existing GitHub Enterprise customers will begin to transition to the enhanced billing platform.

What is the enhanced billing platform?

The enhanced billing platform is a suite of new features designed to help administrators understand and manage GitHub spend for their enterprise. Benefits of the new platform include:

  • Cost allocation – create cost centers to allocate spend to different Azure subscriptions
  • Spend transparency – view usage for organizations, repositories, products, cost centers, and SKUs by hour, day, month, or year
  • Improved control – set budgets to limit spending and configure alerts to stay informed of budget utilization

What to expect

Existing enterprises will gain access to the enhanced billing platform on a rolling basis, and all enterprises will have access by March 2025. You will be informed via email as well as through an in-app banner on the billing page in advance of the transition .

Here are some things to know about the transition:
– Once transitioned, a new Billing & Licensing section will appear in the enterprise account menu.
– Spending limits will be migrated and renamed as budgets in the new billing platform. For more details about budgets, visit “Preventing overspending.”
– While the new billing platform will not visually display historical usage, you will be able to download a usage report to get your pre-transition historical usage.

Other important changes

  • Git Large File Storage will transition from prepaid, quota-based data packs to a usage-based metered billing model. If you use Git Large File Storage today, you’ll receive credits for any unused data packs. For more information, visit “About enhanced billing for Git Large File Storage.”
  • Note: some billing-related APIs will no longer work or will work differently, and the relevant API documentation will be updated to reflect this information. In the coming weeks, there will be a separate changelog post that summarizes these changes. For more information about the billing API, visit “REST API endpoints for enterprise billing.”

Updates to repository enterprise policy, ruleset and custom properties

Recent improvements to enterprise repository policy, rulesets, and custom properties now ensure a more consistent, intuitive experience, making it easier for you to navigate and accomplish your tasks efficiently.

  • Enterprise repository policy page has been renamed to “Member privileges” to align the page title with the current URL path, API endpoints and the corresponding organization setting.

  • Repository rulesets now support enterprise owners as a bypass actor, ensuring your most privileged roles across your enterprise can bypass rulesets.

Heading elements have been added to Project board views to improve screen reader page navigation

Headings have been added to GitHub Projects’ board layout.

Each column’s title is now a second level heading, and each card’s title is a third level heading. We hope this update helps make navigation via screen reader easier and more intuitive for this experience.

An example project, placed in board layout. Each column of the board has a unique title, and contains multiple cards that communicate different initiatives. Each card also has a distinct title.

This update affects all GitHub plans, and is part of GitHub’s ongoing commitment to accessibility.
