Starting June 1st, GitHub Copilot will move to a usage-based billing model as GitHub Copilot supports more agentic and advanced workflows. In early May, you'll see a preview bill experience, giving visibility into projected costs before the transition. 👉 Read more about the upcoming change: github.blog/news-insights/…

@github Okay, understood. But at least do we get back opus 4.6 in pro+ plan?

@github How is it possible that OpenAI, with less infrastructure, hasn’t tightened limits yet, while you, being Microsoft, have?

@github Do annual plans get a prorated refund?

GitHub Copilot switching to usage-based AI Credits… and yeah, good luck if you’re doing a lot of agentic stuff. Meanwhile, OpenAI is still keeping ChatGPT Plus and Pro on straightforward monthly subscriptions with pretty generous limits. No surprise bills for most people. Smart move holding the line while everything else is getting more expensive. Who else is thinking about canceling Copilot?

@github OMG

@github Codex will do the same once they load up on users fleeing from Copilot & Claude.

@github @grok now that github copilot has been nerfed due to these upcoming billing changes, are there any better alternatives out there as of late April 2026?

@github Now that you're switching to usage-based credits, will the unused credits on a month be accumulated over to the next one?

@github The actual new pricing for Copilot from 1 June. The new pricing model doesn't incentivise paying for the $39 model at all. docs.github.com/en/copilot/ref…

@github I understand that premium request billing can be abused, but your updated pricing makes no sense. Why would anyone pay for Pro+ over Pro if there's no volume discount? Honestly, what's the point of using Copilot at all if you're just passing us the provider's API rates?

@github Just turn to codex. I was forced to write code on hands caz my 5-hour quota usage ran out within only 10mins.🤣

Give US one good reason to stay with y'all 1 good reason? What makes you worth investing money into you guys that other don't already do or do better then y'all? I'm extremely curious cause for me and i feel for other too the only thing that made you guys better. was the request per token and not during the workflow of the model. I really hope someone could answer this question !

"Sportradar: All-In on the Underworld" Be informed and entertained by MW's mini-doc showing the evidence of how $SRAD knowingly powers illegal operators, preys on addicts, and makes lower levels of sport susceptible to corruption.

@github It is hard to be mad considering the insane value the subscription has provided. My $39 subscription probably cost Microsoft $20k/month with Anthropic with how heavily I use it. Thanks for the great ride.

@github i now understand all of those "people are going back to writing code by hand" posts

WOW this is officially my last month with y'all wow this is disappointing as hell, the only reason why you had customers is because you guys were more affordable. Now you're going to do it like cursor and codex. Their's no reason to stay with y'all if its the same thing as codex and cursor. Cursor is way better / codex.

@github Buy a solid PC once instead of iPhone. Run local models forever. Models like Qwen, GLM, Kimi are already competitive with GPT/Claude on: • coding • agent workflows • reasoning No subscriptions. No API bills. Just compute.

@github You literally fuct yourself. Copilot is the least useful ai coding tool. You should price it accordingly.

@github Will there be any other differences between the $10 plan and the $39 plan besides token usage? What’s the advantage of paying $39/month if users can just pay $10 + extra tokens?

@github We would love a better uptime and I don’t think anyone needs the AI. Other than that, cool everything is how it needs to be

@github Absolutely no reason to use GitHub Copilot anymore. Glad I cancelled my annual subscription last year after the greedy move to introduce the "Pro+" plan and it seems you have just confirmed that I was right. Time to try something else, perhaps @opencode 's Go plan!

Introducing Fuser Teams. A generative workspace for your whole studio. Shared context, shared workflows, and creative control at every stage.

@github Use this as a reminder to not purchase annual plans in the era of AI, with everything fast moving.

@github lol...is there still any reason to subscribe?

@github Thanks for warning me in advance. I'll cancel my subscription.

@github If we have to move to usage costs, what are the multipliers for? Are the usage multipliers on top of the usage costs e.g. Opus 4.7 is $25 x 27 per million tokens out?

@github Yeah I just canceled my subscription. You'll probably be fine without my 10 bucks. You guys need to find a new product manager really quick... It is becoming nearly impossible to understand what "Copilot" actually means.

@github i guess they understood that individual users are not coming for copilot and choosing codex, claude code. so they want to keep focus on enterprise users and not going to copilot individual users.

@github No sane person would pay for this... Using a basic phi model on local machine is still more useful at least it will eventually find the correct code for free lol even manually copying code/files into chat interfaces is better than paying for output thats mostly repetitive text

@github why isn't GPT-5.5 included in #model-multipliers-for-annual-copilot-pro-and-copilot-pro-subscribers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.github.com/en/copilot/ref…

The demo for ZWAARD is out now on Steam! After an unknown disaster shatters the world, you embark on a quest to regain lost knowledge. Craft your ultimate sword by scavenging parts in a post-apocalyptic world, battle mutated enemies, and traverse vast, atmospheric landscapes.

@github speedrun to 0 customers? 27x multiplier is crazy 😅

@github Flat-rate pricing cannot survive agentic workflows. The compute variance is too high. Smart move to preview the bill in May - nobody wanFlat-rate pricing was never going to survive agentic workflows.ts a surprise invoice on June 2nd.

@github How will the new billing model affect my GitHub Copilot workflow? Can you share more details on the usage-based structure?

@github Codex it gives the most token + quality. Claude barely gives you any tokens. Cursor i haven’t used much. GitHub copilot new structure will only work for enterprises/ huge company’s. Googles ai models for coding need to be revamped for coding imo . Their UI/ Harness isn’t good.

@github This is just the first... Other labs will do the same as the subscription model isn't sustainable... Then, we'll all move to local LLM's on our Mac's... and...the labs will die. I would NOT want to be in these labs right now!

@github Are you kidding me? You want me to stay and renew my subscription and you did something to keep me away from you. Of course you did that. You doubled the use of the Models to a Model that would make me reach the usage limits in less than 3 days! """Here is the end"""
