Credits usage for Copilot Studio Workflow with agents

Hello,

If your agent was built using the Standard Harness and the end user has a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence, usage is generally included and does not consume Copilot Studio message credits, unless the agent uses premium capabilities such as Voice.

If your agent was built using the GitHub Copilot Harness, usage is billed through Copilot Studio message credits based on the operations performed by the agent. For more details, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/requirements-messages-management.

Examples of typical consumption:

• Generative AI response: approximately 2 credits per response.
  With GitHub Copilot Harness agents, billing is token-based (1 credit = 1,000 tokens). In practice, the first 2,000 tokens consumed correspond to 2 credits, and additional credits are consumed as token usage increases.
• Agent Action (for example, calling a Power Automate flow): 5 credits per action.
• Knowledge grounding (retrieving information from connected knowledge sources to generate a response): 10 credits per operation.

Keep in mind that actual credit consumption depends on the agent configuration and the capabilities used during the conversation.
