 ## How {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality %} billing is measured
 
-<!-- expires 2026-07-20 -->
-
-{% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} billing depends on whether the product is generally available or in {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %}. The feature will move from {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %} to general availability on July 20, 2026.
-
-### During the {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %} (until July 20, 2026)
-
-When you scan private repositories during the {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %}, you **will not be billed** for {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} or active committer usage, but {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes **will be consumed**.
-
-#### Check {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage during preview
-
-To view consumption of actions by the `{% data variables.code-quality.workflow_name_billing %}` workflow, download a detailed usage report from the "Billing and licensing" tab. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/how-tos/products/view-productlicense-use).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> {% data reusables.code-quality.shared-workflow-preview %}
-
-#### View your license estimate during preview
-
-During the {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %}, you can preview your license cost for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} before charges begin on July 20, 2026. On the licensing page of the "Billing and licensing" tab, the **Consumed licenses** and **Estimated monthly payment** for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} show how many active committers would count toward your license and the estimated cost.
-
-Because active-committer counts use a rolling 90-day window, this estimate can still change before then. When {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} becomes generally available, the same calculation applied to your then-current committers determines your bill.
-
-#### What the estimate includes and excludes
-
-The estimate only reflects the per-committer license cost. It does not include the {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes that {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} analysis consumes or usage-based charges for AI-powered capabilities such as {% data variables.copilot.copilot_autofix %}. It also reflects standard list pricing, so it does not account for any discounts that may apply to your account.

-When {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} is generally available, use of the product will incur three types of costs for an organization:
+Use of {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} incurs three types of costs for an organization:
 * **{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes** — {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} scans run as {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflows and consume {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} minutes, unless you use self-hosted runners. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/concepts/product-billing/github-actions).
-* **{% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits %}** — {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} features that use AI models consume {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %}. Each interaction is priced based on the number of tokens consumed, where 1 {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credit_singular %} = {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_value %}. {% data reusables.code-quality.model-usage %} For more information about how {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} work, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/billing/usage-based-billing-for-organizations-and-enterprises).
-* **Active committers** — Your license usage is calculated based on the number of unique, active committers to repositories with {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} enabled. {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} bots are ignored. For information about differences between bot and machine accounts, see [AUTOTITLE](/apps/oauth-apps/building-oauth-apps/differences-between-github-apps-and-oauth-apps#machine-vs-bot-accounts).
+* **{% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits %}** — {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} features that use AI models consume {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} from your shared {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} pool, rather than a separate {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} allowance. Each interaction is priced based on the number of tokens consumed, where 1 {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credit_singular %} = {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_value %}. {% data reusables.code-quality.model-usage %} For more information about how {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} work, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/billing/usage-based-billing-for-organizations-and-enterprises).
+* **Active committers** — {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality %} is a standalone product with its own license: it uses **one {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality %} license per active committer**, and does not consume {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} or any other product's licenses. Your license usage is calculated based on the number of unique, active committers to repositories with {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} enabled. {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} bots are ignored.

-#### Active and unique committers
+### Active and unique committers
 
-Each **active committer** to at least one repository with {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} enabled uses **one license**. A committer is considered active if one of their commits has been pushed to the repository within the last 90 days, regardless of when it was originally authored.

A committer is considered active if one of their commits has been pushed to the repository within the last 90 days, regardless of when it was originally authored.
 
-* **Active committers** are committers who contributed to at least one repository and have a {% data variables.product.prodname_team %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} license with your organization or enterprise. That is, they are also a member, an enterprise-managed user, an external collaborator, or have a pending invitation to join your organization or enterprise.
+* **Active committers** are committers who contributed to at least one repository and have a {% data variables.product.prodname_team %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} license with your organization or enterprise. This includes members, enterprise-managed users, external collaborators, and people with a pending invitation to join your organization or enterprise.
 * **Unique committers** is the number of active committers who contributed only to one repository, or only to repositories in one organization. You can free up this number of licenses by disabling {% data variables.product.prodname_code_quality_short %} for that repository or organization.
 
 Users can contribute to multiple repositories or organizations. Usage is measured across the whole organization or enterprise to ensure that each member uses one license regardless of how many repositories or organizations the user contributes to.
