| {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} uses the same billing cycle as other license-based products. For details about how billing cycles work across all products, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/concepts/billing-cycles). | |
| Within that framework: | |
| * Charges are calculated based on the **number of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} seats (licenses) assigned during the billing cycle**. | |
| * You can add or remove seats at any time. At the end of each billing cycle, billed users are calculated based on the number of seats assigned. | |
| For reference information about seat assignment, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/seat-assignment). | |
