As of September 19, 2025, the Microsoft Copilot Studio enforcement policy is active.
How does this affect me?
This policy ensures alignment between usage and billing capabilities across environments. It includes two key enforcement areas:
Publishing enforcement:
- Users with trial licenses are no longer able to publish agents.
- Publishing to environments without billing capacity-either Pay-as-you-go (Paygo), or prepaid capacity-is not permitted.
- M365 Copilot licensed users/makers will not be blocked from publishing agents to M365 Copilot, Teams, or SharePoint.
- Usage enforcement is now enabled to ensure that agent activity is supported by appropriate billing mechanisms.
- Usage by M365 Copilot licensed users is NOT charged and does NOT consume Copilot Credits.
Please review your consumption rates in the Power Platform admin center and enable or allocate billing capacity for environments where agents are deployed.
For detailed information on billing rates and management, refer to the official Billing rates and management page.
