Announcing: Azure Databricks Genie One and Genie Agents Free Usage extended through January 31, 2027

Azure DatabricksAzure · AI & machine learning

Free usage of Genie One and Genie Agents in Azure Databricks is now extended through January 31, 2027, from the previous end date of July 31, 2026. Budget controls do not apply to these products during the promotional period. The promotion covers usage by users only - service principals are excluded, and their Genie One and Genie Agents usage continues to be billed. Genie Code is not included in this promotion: each Genie Code user continues to receive 150 free Databricks units (DBUs) per month, and usage above that allowance receives a 25% promotional discount through January 31, 2027, combined with applicable discounts on the Serverless Real-Time Inference SKU.
