docs: add Licensing & Usage page and reorder agents manifest (#28263)
Adds a new Licensing & Usage page under `docs/ai-coder/agents/` covering the difference between Community and AI Premium licenses, how Agent Time is measured, and what happens when concurrency or usage limits are reached. Reorders the Coder Agents section in `docs/manifest.json` to the following sequence: Getting Started, Architecture, Platform Controls, Extending Agents, Models, Tools, Chat Sharing, Search Syntax, Licensing & Usage, Tasks to Chats API Migration. --- PR generated with Coder Agents --------- Co-authored-by: Nick Vigilante <nickvigilante@users.noreply.github.com>

title: Licensing & Usage
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Coder Agents is licensed differently depending on whether your deployment holds a Community license or an AI Premium license with a purchased Agent Time allocation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Community licenses
|
||||
|
||||
Community licenses support up to five concurrently active agents deployment-wide.
|
||||
Coder doesn't limit how long those agents can run or how many tasks they complete over time.
|
||||
Agents will queue when more than five agents are active at a time.
|
||||
With this agent pool, individuals and small teams can experiment with Coder Agents at no cost.
|
||||
|
||||
## AI Premium licenses and Agent Time
|
||||
|
||||
AI Premium licenses include a customizable amount of Agent Time.
|
||||
Agent Time is shared across the deployment, allowing unlimited agents to run concurrently while consuming from a shared pool of purchased working hours.
|
||||
This usage-based model is designed for enterprise workloads, where large development teams, background automation, and API-triggered tasks can create highly variable bursts of agent activity without being constrained by a concurrency limit.
|
||||
|
||||
## How Agent Time is measured
|
||||
|
||||
Agent Time is the cumulative duration during which an AI agent is actively processing a task for the user.
|
||||
It is measured per interaction step and summed across the duration of a conversation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Includes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Large language model inference time
|
||||
- Tool execution (such as file operations, terminal commands, and workspace provisioning)
|
||||
- Automated error recovery attempts
|
||||
|
||||
**Excludes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Time the customer spends composing or reviewing messages
|
||||
- Time between conversation turns when the agent is not processing
|
||||
- Tool execution delegated to external systems outside the agent's direct control
|
||||
|
||||
Agent Time does not accrue when a conversation is inactive or awaiting user input.
|
||||
Agent Time is measured with millisecond precision and is rounded down to the nearest minute for billing purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Concurrency and usage limits
|
||||
|
||||
Coder handles concurrency and usage limits differently, depending on the license you use for Coder.
|
||||
|
||||
### Community concurrency limit
|
||||
|
||||
When a Community license deployment reaches its limit of five concurrently active agents, any additional agents are placed in a queue.
|
||||
As soon as an active agent completes its task, the next queued agent begins its work, so no work is lost and no action is required from the user.
|
||||
|
||||
### AI Premium Agent Time exhaustion
|
||||
|
||||
Coder sends deployment administrators an in-app soft warning message as the deployment approaches its maximum allotted Agent Time, so they can purchase additional Agent Time before the concurrency fallback takes effect.
