- Who it helps
- Organization administrators responsible for review access and AI spending.
- Availability
- The October 8 changelog documents the settings. Organization-paid review requires paid AI-credit usage to be enabled; budgets can constrain that spending.
Decide who carries the usage
Under member billing, an exhausted member quota can prevent a review. The organization option permits centrally paid usage. This changes the payer and access behavior, so the setting should be reviewed with the organization’s budget.
Check the external-license rule
The update also describes a policy for users whose paid license comes from outside the organization. Allowing those users by default is separate from restricting review to organization-provided licenses.
What you can do
- Read both billing and license-policy settings before changing review access for an organization. Open reference ↗
Where the evidence stops
No organization setting was changed or bill inspected. The notice establishes available controls, not the cost of a particular review workload.
