Copilot Cost Management API: new beta governance capabilities
💰 The Copilot Cost Management API gives administrators a Microsoft Graph interface for managing AI credit consumption.
⏳ Its beta capabilities include tenant balances, spending policies for all users or selected groups, service-level settings, threshold notifications and user-level balance diagnostics.
🤖 For partners building Copilot administration or FinOps services, that creates a way to explore controls for pilot groups and investigate why a user cannot consume a service.
📌 The figures are credit-based: the API does not provide prices, invoices or currency-based forecasts.
🔐 Access requires the appropriate tenant permissions and administrator roles, and Microsoft does not support these beta APIs in production applications.
