Hi afmc2238, bu11frogg,
Thanks for the great questions & feedback. I'll try address them all, do let me know if I'm missing some.
As bu11frogg pointed out, today, the 5,000 AI Builder credits included in Power Automate per user plans with attended RPA need to be allocated to an environment to be used. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ai-builder/administer-licensing#allocate-capacity for pointers. If no credits are allocated to an environment, users will be able to start a per user trial to try out AI Builder.

We've heard the feedback loud and clear that that need to allocate credits is very inconvenient. To address that feedback, we've spent the past few months working on a change to the product which will remove that requirement, while still continuing to allow allocation for admins who wish to be intentional about credit usage. Unless we hit last minute integration issues, that change will light up in Jan 2022 at which point our hope is that this becomes a non issue.

Please do keep the feedback coming!
Antoine
