How revoking access affects billing
Revoking access takes effect from the start of the next billing cycle. If you remove a seat during a cycle, the user will have access to Copilot for the remainder of the billing cycle. For more information, see About billing for GitHub Copilot.

In the "Confirm seat removal" dialog, click Remove seats.
Using the API to revoke access to Copilot
You can use GitHub's REST API to revoke access to Copilot for teams, or specific users, in your organization. For example, you might want to write a script to automatically revoke seats for organization members who have not been using Copilot. See Remove teams from the Copilot subscription for an organization and Remove users from the Copilot subscription for an organization.
