Future change announced
Facts, analysis and limits
Verified facts
- The current effective date is 1 December, postponed from 2 November.
- The advertised default limit is 4,000 Copilot Credits per user per month, which can be modified by an administrator.
- Belgium is explicitly one of the markets not initially available.
What changes
Agents need spending governance separate from licensing.
Practical implication
Do not transpose this configuration to a Belgian tenant; monitor the geographical extension and control the budgets.
Availability
Belgium explicitly excluded from initial deployment; several other EEA countries are also excluded. This is not a general activation in October.
