Note

Coming April 4, 2025: If you are using GitHub’s enhanced billing platform, we will be updating our usage ingestion from minute to hourly.

The new billing platform provides a high-level view of your spending trends based on the usage across products. You can use this information to estimate your spending and make informed decisions about your budget.

Viewing prepaid credits

Your prepaid credits are shown above the "Metered usage" graph. To add more prepaid credits, you can contact your account manager in {% data variables.contact.contact_enterprise_sales %}.

If you don't currently use prepaid credits, but have a volume subscription and would like to use credits, you can contact your account manager in {% data variables.contact.contact_enterprise_sales %}. Prepaid credits are only available to customers who are invoiced (with or without metered add-ons). Prepaid credits can't be used if your account only includes metered add-ons.

Viewing promotion and discounts

In the "Current promotions and discounts" section in the top right, you can see the total amount of promotions and discounts applied to your account. Click More details to view a breakdown of the promotions and discounts.

If your role provides access, you can edit or delete a budget by clicking {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="Open column options" %} to the right of a budget. See AUTOTITLE.

If you have used all of your budget, a red banner appears at the top of the page. You can click Update your budget to increase your budget.
