Updates to security configuration settings for customers in existing grace periods

For customers affected by ongoing grace periods, GitHub will automatically update the enable for new repositories security configuration setting for customers not opted out. This change helps you avoid unexpected billing charges without manual effort needed from your part.

Team and Enterprise customers with a configuration applied before April 1, 2025 enabling paid security features for newly created private repositories will see one of the following two changes applied:

• Configurations with enable for new repositories set to for all public and private repositories will be adjusted to for all public repositories only.
• Configurations with enable for new repositories set to for all private repositories will be adjusted to for no newly created repositories.

Customers who haven’t yet opted out with a representative from GitHub will see these settings enabled on the follow dates:

• Team customers will see this change on April 23, 2025.
• Enterprise customers will see this change on April 28, 2025.
