Microsoft restricts SharePoint agent creation for PAYGO users

Microsoft is updating its SharePoint agent policies for Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) users, requiring an M365 Copilot license for the creation of custom agents. While the ability to build new custom agents will be removed for PAYGO-only users, existing custom agents will still be covered for usage and consumption. This change is scheduled to be fully rolled out by mid-June 2026. AI

IMPACT This change impacts how organizations using Microsoft's PAYGO model can leverage custom SharePoint agents, potentially limiting new development without an M365 Copilot license.

RANK_REASON This is a policy change regarding a specific product feature (SharePoint agents) for a particular user tier (PAYGO), not a core AI release or significant industry event.
