About the billing cycle

Learn about the billing cycle for the enhanced billing platform.

Who can use this feature?

The new billing platform is available to all enterprise accounts, and their organizations, created after June 2, 2024. Enterprises that participated in the beta program also have access to the new billing platform.

Beginning in September 2024, GitHub will migrate remaining enterprises to the new billing platform. Enterprises will receive a notice 30 days before their migration. See the GitHub blog.

Important

If you are on not on the new billing platform, this article does not apply to you. To check if you are on the new billing platform, see "How do I know if I can access the enhanced billing platform?." For more information about the billing cycle for your enterprise account, see "Changing the duration of your billing cycle."

If your enterprise is on the new 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 dictated by the moment you converted from a trial to a paid enterprise account. For example, if you converted 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 new billing platform.
