Last updated Oct 17, 2026 Policies Licences & Costs

AI summary

Move Copilot agents into separate resource groups to track their costs clearly in Azure Cost Management. Since Copilot agent costs grow with usage, separating them helps you monitor spending accurately and set budgets per resource group.

Severity: High Costs Generally available

What it detects

For better cost control move AI services into separate resource groups.

Why it matters

Azure costs are easiest to follow per Resource Group: Cost Management can filter and group costs and set budgets by Resource Group. When AI services share a Resource Group with other services, their spend, which grows with usage, is hard to tell apart from the rest. Move AI services into Resource Groups of their own so you can see and cap what they cost.

Every Copilot Agent where Everyone access is true and Is Published is true that has exactly 1 Users
