What moved, and what it means for your organization

1. Default-on billing for new CSP Copilot Business slips a month; 4,000-credit default limit published · Confirmed on Microsoft's page
   • What it means for you: An extra month to plan before the meter starts on new partner-bought licences. The limit is a default you set, not a ceiling imposed — set it before the first credit, widen on proof.
   • One thing to check: Confirm which of your subscriptions are new CSP Copilot Business, and who holds the admin rights to set or adjust the credit limit.

2. Copilot in SharePoint hits GA; everyday use stays in-licence, 'advanced work' draws Copilot Credits · Confirmed on Microsoft's page
   • What it means for you: The credit meter now reaches into SharePoint. Everyday use stays covered; advanced work is rerouted onto credits, not removed. Set the limit first, then widen as teams prove the value.
   • One thing to check: List the SharePoint actions your teams rely on and flag any that count as 'advanced work' and will draw credits.

3. Work IQ opens public preview, grounding Copilot and agents in Dynamics 365 and Power Platform data · Confirmed on Microsoft's page
   • What it means for you: A new, credit-billed surface Copilot can draw from — only if you enable it. It's an opt-in preview. If you turn it on, set the limit before the first credit, then widen on proof.
   • One thing to check: Decide whether Work IQ belongs in your plans yet; if so, set its spending limit before you enable the preview, not after.

4. CSP growth margin goes live; Microsoft 365 Copilot qualifies — customer pricing unchanged · Confirmed on Microsoft's page
   • What it means for you: A partner-side economic change only. What you pay for Microsoft 365 Copilot does not change because of it. Nothing to plan, nothing to set — note it and carry on.
   • One thing to check: Nothing on your side — a quick confirmation that your Copilot pricing is unchanged, then set it aside.
