GitHub reopens Copilot enterprise signups with upfront seat billing
GitHub began gradually reopening credit-card and PayPal signups for Copilot Business and Enterprise. New seat assignments require payment before access, and existing customers on those payment methods move to upfront charges for every assigned seat at the next billing cycle starting 1 October; included usage may be prorated and overages can require more payment.
Why it matters: The change turns idle assignments and usage overages into immediate continuity and cash-flow concerns for self-serve enterprise customers, without changing headline plan prices.
