[Introduction:]
To streamline billing management and improve the admin experience, Microsoft is moving the setup of Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) billing plans for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat from the Power Platform admin center to the Microsoft 365 admin center. While many organizations already use the existing Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) setup, starting October 3, 2025, all tenants must begin using the Microsoft 365 admin center for Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) setup for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, as the Power Platform method will no longer be supported.
[When this will happen:]
Starting October 3, 2025, admins will no longer be able to set up new Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) billing plans for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat via the Power Platform admin center.
[How this affects your organization:]
Who is affected: Admins managing billing plans for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
What will happen:
- The PAYG billing plan setup will no longer be available via the Power Platform admin center.
- Admins will configure billing plans for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat via the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- Existing billing plans created in the Power Platform admin center will remain active and manageable in that portal.
- Use of the PAYG billing option does not require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
- No impact to user experience.
[What you can do to prepare:]
- Inform your admins about the transition to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- If your organization needs to create a new billing plan after October 3, 2025, use the Microsoft 365 admin center.
[Compliance considerations:]
