Microsoft 365 admin center: Capacity pack support for SharePoint agent and Copilot tuning [MC1174857]

Message ID: MC1174857

[Introduction]

To help organizations better manage metered consumption costs for SharePoint Agents and Copilot Tuning, we’re introducing Capacity Pack support in the Microsoft 365 admin center (MAC). This feature allows global admins to use prepaid message bundles before incurring pay-as-you-go (PAYG) charges, improving cost control and governance.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 503145.

[When this will happen:]

• General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins in late October 2025 and is expected to complete by late October 2025.

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected:

• Global admins managing SharePoint Agents or Copilot Tuning in Microsoft 365.
• Organizations using Copilot Chat environments via Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC).

What will happen:

• A new Capacity Pack option will be available in MAC.
• Each Capacity Pack includes 25,000 Copilot messages/month.
• Admins can allocate packs to Copilot Chat environments via PPAC.
• MAC will automatically prioritize prepaid packs and switch to PAYG when exhausted.
• Usage monitoring will be available in PPAC, including:
  • Total messages consumed
  • Remaining prepaid capacity
  • Message allocation per environment
• Supports unlicensed users and automated provisioning.

[What you can do to prepare:]

• No admin action is required before rollout.
• After rollout, you may:
  • Review usage reports in PPAC.
  • Allocate Capacity Packs to environments as needed.
  • Update internal documentation if you track Copilot usage or billing.
