Copilot code review gets organization billing options and request controls

GitHub's changelog, October 8, 2026, adds two controls for Copilot code review admins:

• Billing: organization owners can bill reviews requested by members with a Copilot license to the organization instead of the member's own entitlement. The default is still the member's entitlement, and a review fails if that quota is exhausted. Billing the organization requires AI Credits paid usage to be enabled, and a budget can be set. The setting is under organization settings, Copilot, Policies.
• Who can request a review: organization owners and repository admins can restrict review requests to people holding a Copilot license provided by the organization or enterprise, so licenses from outside cannot be used.
