TL;DR
Copilot Cowork is generally available and uses Copilot Credits billed separately from the required Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

Why it matters
- Admins/IT: Verify billing and policy roles, review existing Copilot Credit allocations, and choose Capacity Packs or pay-as-you-go before activation.
- Admins/IT: Configure monthly and per-user limits, alerts, and a security-group scope so the pilot has measurable boundaries.
- Leadership/Business: Treat the launch as a bounded pilot and expand access only after usage and credit consumption are understood.
Frequently asked questions
How do Capacity Packs and pay-as-you-go work for Copilot Cowork?
Capacity Packs use prepaid Copilot Credit capacity, while pay-as-you-go charges a connected subscription and can continue after capacity credits run out.
What should I check before assigning a Copilot Cowork spending policy?
Check existing Copilot Credit allocations across workloads, the billing method, monthly and per-user limits, alert recipients, thresholds, and access scope.
How can I restrict Copilot Cowork to pilot users?
Customize the policy and scope it to a specific security group, then add a small group of trusted users before expanding access.
