Posted on by YD-28100024-0

Hi, I hope you guys can answer this question as soon as possible :)

I'm trying to understand the AI Builder licensing changes for Power Automate Premium after November 1, 2025:

Question 1: As an existing customer, will I still receive the 5,000 AI Builder credits per month with my Power Automate Premium license after November 1, 2025?

Question 2: For new customers subscribing to Power Automate Premium after November 1, 2025, how many Copilot Credits (if any) are included with the license, or must they purchase Copilot Credit packs separately?

Question 3: After November 1, 2025, do new customers need both a Power Automate Premium license AND Copilot Credits to use AI Builder features? Or can they use AI Builder with only Copilot Credits (without needing Power Automate Premium)?

I've reviewed the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ai-builder/dual-mode-licensing but would appreciate community confirmation.

Thank you!

Hi @YD-28100024-0

I really really really tell people that if you are looking for license question validation, please call Microsoft. Anything else is an educated guess and no one you can use to fight microsoft when you get some horrible bill.. but Michael said.,.,. yeah they do not care.

To my knowledge

1. Yes until 2026

2. No Idea, I am not aware of any credits (certainly not AI Builder) that are given they have to buy a credit pack or do Pay as you go

3. Yes, you will always need Credits, its simply changing from AI Builder to Copilot

:-)

Cheers

AI Builder credits seeded in Power Platform or Dynamics licenses will be removed in November 2026.

Question 2: For new customers subscribing to Power Automate Premium after November 1, 2025, how many Copilot Credits (if any) are included with the license, or must they purchase Copilot Credit packs separately?

None are included in Power Automate. The seeding is done.

Question 3: After November 1, 2025, do new customers need both a Power Automate Premium license AND Copilot Credits to use AI Builder features? Or can they use AI Builder with only Copilot Credits (without needing Power Automate Premium)?
Any existing credits can still burn-down, after which only Copilot Credits can be used.
AND
Free trials of AI Builder have been discontinued.

To your Q1, yes, existing Power Automate Premium users keep the seeded 5,000 AI Builder credits per month through the transition window, but those credits cannot be topped up once the SKU reaches end of sale on Nov 1, 2025. After that, overage and any new capacity must come from Copilot Credits.

The part that trips most teams up is the conversion ratio and which AI Builder actions map to which Copilot Credit cost. It is not 1:1. I put together a full timeline plus a side by side cost comparison here if it helps: https://iiu.dk/ai-builder-credits-end-2026/

Hi @YD-28100024-0

Existing customers keep the 5,000 AI Builder credits monthly until November 2026 under Microsoft’s transition policy.

New customers after November 2025 receive no included Copilot Credits and must purchase Copilot Credit packs separately.

New customers need both Power Automate Premium licensing and Copilot Credits to use AI Builder features in flows.
