## Overview{% #overview %}

This guide provides a non-exhaustive list of billing considerations for [CI Visibility](https://docs.datadoghq.com/continuous_integration/pipelines).

## Counting committers{% #counting-committers %}

A committer is an active Git contributor, identified by their Git author email address. For billing purposes, a committer is included if they make at least three commits in a given month.

## Billing for commits made by bots or actions performed in the GitHub UI{% #billing-for-commits-made-by-bots-or-actions-performed-in-the-github-ui %}

Commits made by verified bots or through actions performed directly in the GitHub UI are not billed by Datadog. These are automatically excluded from billing calculations. Only verified bots are excluded from billing.

## Excluding commits from specific people{% #excluding-commits-from-specific-people %}

Yes, you can exclude commits from specific people by using [exclusion filters](https://docs.datadoghq.com/continuous_integration/guides/ingestion_control).
