I'm a GitHub admin. Did not receive this e-mail. We don't have the GitHub Code Quality feature enabled anywhere, though. The e-mail seems clear: Someone enabled the feature in the organization. The feature was in free preview, but the free preview is ending. If they leave it enabled, it will be billed at the new rate. It's pretty clear that "organization" is being used throughout the e-mail, so they're not referring…

Huh? Just to make sure I wasn't missing something, I checked and my GitHub account has only a TOTP app and hardware security key configured, no SMS/phone number. As a matter of fact GH even has a red "Less secure" badge on the SMS 2FA in the settings discouraging its use, as well as the following text in the description: "We strongly advise against using SMS because it is susceptible to interception, does not provide…
This option must have been added later.
This links to this, which says https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/concepts/about-code... > GitHub Code Quality is currently in public preview and will become generally available on July 20, 2026. During public preview, Code Quality scans will consume GitHub Actions minutes but you will not be billed for other usage. From July 20, 2026, usage will incur additional charges. See GitHub Code Quality billing. >If yo…
It's probably now called CoPilot Code CoPilot Quality CoPilot™. Do you see that anywhere in your settings?

Sending a billing notification to someone who has no billing information on file, but is part of an organization where someone probably enabled that beta feature ("You're receiving this because your organization is using the GitHub Code Quality public preview.") isn't a shakedown.
Christ it's the airport bellhop scam: Someone appears, gives you a service unprompted(carries your bag of spams some AI code reviews), them later demands payment.

How can you possibly bill someone without billing information?
Both of those are paid plans, so the billing information available. As the message says, this email is not for individual user, but rather for github org admin. I guess someone made the poster an admin, they are receiving admin-only messages and are freaking out now?

The person is confused. They're not getting billed.
The organization's responsible billing contact would get billed.

What about this email is a "shakedown"?
The part where it says they are about to start taking your money?
And yeah, that how the businesses work: you opt-in to feature, then you start paying for it. Sometimes the latter part is delayed, in which case it's a good style to send heads-up email about it. Nothing unusual or scammy about it.
