Set an expiration date for individual user budgets

Users can now set an optional expiration date on individual user budgets, and GitHub automatically removes the budget on that date. This capability is now generally available.

You can now set an optional expiration date on an individual user budget, and GitHub removes the budget on that date. This capability is generally available. The user then falls back to the next budget that applies to them (i.e., their cost center per-user budget or otherwise your universal budget).

Previously, you had to remove every temporary budget override by hand, creating recurring cleanup work at enterprise scale.

When you create or edit an individual user budget, you can choose:

  • No expiration, which is the default and matches current behavior.
  • Expiration at the start of the next billing cycle.
  • Expiration on a specific date.

Budget expiration settings showing three options: never expires, expires at the start of the next billing cycle, and expires on a specific date in UTC

You can change or clear an expiration date at any time.

Set an expiration date in your billing settings, or use the expires_at field in the Budgets REST API when you create or update a budget.

Expiration dates are available for the GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise plans.
