Copilot agent credits
Copilot Agent Mode Cost Calculator
Copilot-style agent workflows can feel different from autocomplete because they may inspect files, generate patches, run iterations, and produce larger responses. This page frames the estimate around credits, task size, and monthly repetition.
Best use cases
- Planning Copilot agent mode for recurring coding tasks.
- Estimating whether a team may hit included credit limits.
- Comparing Copilot credits against API-metered coding agents.
Inputs to estimate
- Expected agent runs per day.
- Average size of generated code or review output.
- Included credits or plan allowance.
- Fallback API budget when usage exceeds the plan.
How to calculate it
Open the AI Coding Agent Cost Calculator, choose the closest editable preset, then adjust task volume, token size, cached input, and subscription assumptions. Use the result as a planning estimate, not a billing statement.
