The AI features that are now part of Microsoft 365 aren't unlimited. Subscribers will get a certain amount of AI credits each month, which are consumed when AI features are used. Microsoft is keeping Copilot Pro as an option for consumers with high usage needs, allowing Microsoft 365 subscribers to upgrade and pay the additional $20 per month.

Microsoft Corp. is raising the price of its package of Office apps for consumers, a bet that subscribers will be willing to cough up more for access to new artificial intelligence tools.

Copilot is Microsoft's generative AI chatbot featured in much of the company's productivity software, and the tool has free and paid versions.
