Dynamics 365 Business Central: how many Copilot Credits my Agent consumes?

Key points

• Copilot credits for Business Central Agents can be purchased through Power Platform Admin Center via prepaid packs or pay-as-you-go subscriptions
• Linking Business Central environments to Power Platform environments is required for pay-as-you-go billing and to track consumption per environment
• Agent consumption data is accessible via the Agent page’s View consumption data action, showing monthly execution details and credit usage by task
• Only users with SUPER or AGENT - DIAGNOSTICS permission sets can view Copilot credits billing details; AGENT - ADMIN permission is insufficient

Quotes

• “you can now monitor the consume of Copilot credits for your Agents directly in Business Central” (Highlights the built-in monitoring capability that most Business Central users and partners are not aware of)
• “The consumption overview of Business Central agents can be visible only to users with SUPER or AGENT - DIAGNOSTICS permission set assigned” (Clarifies the specific security requirements for accessing billing data, correcting a common misunderstanding about AGENT - ADMIN permissions)
