No, it is not always required to use a comma before but. Usually the only time you will put a comma before the word 'but' is when you are separating two independent clauses.

Examples of a sentence that doesn't require a comma:

1. "We enjoy eating fish but not squid."

2. "Everyone but Sally eats fish."

No, a comma before "but" is not always necessary. It is typically used before coordinating conjunctions like "but" when joining two independent clauses. If the clauses are closely related and short, a comma may be omitted.
