The new billing platform provides a high-level view of your spending trends based on the usage across products. You can use this information to estimate your spending and make informed decisions about your budget.
Viewing your spending for your enterprise
The "Overview" page provides a high-level view of your spending and budgets.
- In the top-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture.
- Depending on your environment, click Your enterprise, or click Your enterprises then click the enterprise you want to view.
- At the top of the page, click Billing and licensing.
On this page, you can view your usage in the following categories:
-
Current metered usage: The card on the top left shows the gross metered usage for your enterprise including all cost centers. Click More details to view a breakdown of the usage by cost center.
-
By products: You can use the product tabs to view usage and discounts for different products.
Note
When you enable GitHub Secret Protection, GitHub Code Security, or GitHub Advanced Security, there is a delay of up to two hours before the change is shown in the usage data on the "Billing and licensing" tab.
-
By organization and by repository: The two cards at the bottom of the page show the top five organizations and repositories that generate the most usage. You can click View details in the upper-right corner of each card to view all usage, including a breakdown by gross usage versus billable usage (minus any discounts that may apply).
Viewing prepaid credits
Your prepaid credits are shown at the top of the page in the Current included usage card. To add more prepaid credits, you can contact your account manager in GitHub's Sales team.
If you don't currently use prepaid credits, but have a volume subscription and would like to use credits, you can contact your account manager in GitHub's Sales team. Prepaid credits are only available to customers who are invoiced (with or without metered add-ons). Prepaid credits can't be used if your account only includes metered add-ons.
Viewing promotion and discounts
You can see the total amount of promotions and discounts applied to your account on the Overview page. In the top right-hand corner of the Current included usage card, click More details to view a breakdown of your promotions and discounts.
Creating a budget
As an enterprise owner or billing manager, you can set the budget for your enterprise, an organization within your enterprise, or a cost center. As an organization owner, you are able to set the budgets for the repositories you manage. See Setting up budgets to control spending on metered products.
