About the billing cycle

Learn about the billing cycle for the enhanced billing platform.

Who can use this feature?

Outside of GitHub Enterprise Cloud, the enhanced billing platform is available only to organization accounts created after November 13, 2024 on a GitHub Team plan. It is currently not available to:

  • GitHub Free
  • GitHub Pro
  • Organizations that upgrade from GitHub Free to GitHub Team

Important

If you have a GitHub Free plan or a GitHub Pro plan, this article does not apply to you.

To check if you are on the enhanced billing platform, see "How do I know if I can access the enhanced billing platform?."

If your organization uses the enhanced billing platform, you have a fixed billing period for metered usage which runs from the first day of the month to the last day of the month. When the month ends, the usage is scheduled to be billed on your bill cycle day. Your bill cycle day is the day you created your organization. For example, if you created the account on the fifteenth of the month, you will be billed on the fifteenth of each subsequent month.

This applies to all products available through the enhanced billing platform.

If still use the previous billing platform, for more information about the billing cycle for your account, see "Changing the duration of your billing cycle."
