All GitHub Copilot plans are now on usage-based billing [FAQ] #197089
|
Hello GitHub Community, Important Effective June 16, 2026: We're reopening sign-ups for GitHub Copilot Student, Pro, Pro+, and Max plans gradually over the next couple of weeks for new subscribers. If you've been waiting to get started with Copilot, select the plan that fits your needs. If you find that you're using more than what's included in your current plan, we've made some updates to help you get the best experience:
If your preferred option isn't available yet, check back soon & review the FAQ below for additional answers. 📍 Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy can’t I sign up right now?New sign-ups are opening gradually as we put safeguards in place to address abuse patterns we saw under the previous billing model. This allows us to ensure Copilot remains a reliable, high-quality experience for all users. What options do I have to continue using Copilot once I've hit my additional usage spending limit?You have two options:
What does it look like in practice to upgrade? Can you give an example of what the flow looks like?When you hit your additional usage spending limit on Copilot Pro, you'll see options to either pay as you go (settle your $29 in accrued additional usage to continue on Pro) or upgrade to Pro+ (pay a $29 upgrade fee, and receive the $70 Pro+ credits minus your total current usage). The upgrade fee is designed so your total spend matches what a new Pro+ signup would pay. For example: Mona has a Copilot Pro subscription and has hit their spending limit after $5.00 USD in additional usage. Mona can either choose to pay down the $5 in additional usage or can upgrade to Pro+. If Mona upgrades to Pro+, Mona will be charged $29.00 USD to upgrade and receive $50 (70 AI Credits from Pro+ - ($15 AI Credits from Pro + $5 of additional usage) in AI Credits to use for the remaining month. Will we always have to upgrade to a more expensive plan?No. We are rolling out a Pay as you Go option that allows you to pay for additional usage on your current plan without upgrading. When you hit your additional usage spending limit, you'll be presented with both options: upgrade to the next plan for more included usage, or pay as you go to continue on your current plan. The upgrade path offers better per-dollar value through included credits, while pay as you go gives you flexibility to stay on your current plan. Why do I have to pay first? Why can’t I just continue to use Copilot and pay when the month is over?Pay as you Go helps protect against unpredictable costs. Postpaid billing can lead to unexpectedly large bills at the end of the month, and requiring payment upfront—combined with spending limits and the usage dashboard—helps avoid that. You can also upgrade to the next plan tier for higher included usage and spending limits. 📍Usage-based billingEffective June 1, 2026: Usage-based billing is now in effect for all GitHub Copilot plans. Please refer to our initial announcement and today’s changelog for more details. What are the additional usage limits? How much additional usage can users purchase?The limits increase by plan, so the limits for users on a Pro+ plan will generally be higher than those for users on a Pro plan. They also vary depending on a user’s usage patterns, billing history, and verification states for their GitHub account. These limits are subject to change, and you’ll see an in-product notification when you hit a limit. How will we know when we hit an additional usage spending limit?You will get an in-product notification when you hit the additional usage spending limit. Why do the spending limits vary? Why are some users treated differently?Limits vary by plan tier and account signals, including usage patterns, billing history, and verification state, to protect service reliability and prevent abuse. How exactly are you determining the amount of a user’s additional usage spending limit? What's the specific criteria?We look at a variety of factors, including usage and payment history with GitHub. We can’t disclose specifics, as it would give bad actors more details to work with to circumvent our safeguards. If I upgrade to a more expensive plan but then decide to downgrade, what does that look like? Are there any restrictions on when I can downgrade?You can downgrade at any point. The downgrade will be a “delayed downgrade” where you will stay in the current, more expensive plan until your next billing cycle. Then you will be charged for the downgraded plan and the lower included usage will take effect the next calendar month. Please note that if you upgrade from a Student plan to a paid plan, downgrading will take you to a Free plan and you will need to reapply for Student plan. You said you’d loosen restrictions once usage-based billing is in effect, but sign-ups for new users are still paused. What’s going on?We understand the frustration. Usage-based billing is now in effect, but we’ve needed additional time to put safeguards in place to ensure a reliable experience for all users. We plan to re-enable new sign-ups for all Copilot plans in the coming weeks. Will you continue to offer flex AI Credits after the current promotion ends?Flex allotments may vary from month to month. They’re designed to adapt as the economics of AI evolve, including model pricing, new models, and improvements in efficiency. How can I use the enhanced model capabilities like the 1M context window?These will be available in Copilot CLI and VS Code. In Copilot CLI, once you select a model you’ll be asked if you want default or long context. Select long context for the 1M context window. In VS Code, you can configure this through a separate context size dropdown menu. Why should I pay GitHub API prices when I can just go pay the model provider directly?Copilot gives you a single subscription across every model family we support, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI , with model availability varying by plan— without managing separate API keys, billing relationships, or rate limits with each provider. You get one bill, one set of usage controls, and access to all of it across VS Code, the Copilot CLI, the Copilot SDK, Copilot Code Review, and tools like OpenCode — without configuring each one separately. For a lot of developers, the value isn't just "access to a model." It's that Copilot is deeply integrated into the tools they already use: pull requests, code review, the editor, the terminal. That integration work, including the context from your repo, your PR diff, your open files, and more, is what turns a model call into something more useful. Will users continue to see the same level of restrictive rate limiting we’ve seen over the past few months?We’ve loosened rate limits considerably, and users should not experience them with normal use. Can I set up budgets at the user-level for my organization?Yes, admins can now set a universal budget for users or override for specific sets of users. As users approach their budgets, admins will receive email notifications and can adjust budgets anytime from their billing settings. See our budget management documentation for details. |

So the answer is basically: if you hit your limit too quickly, you should upgrade and pay more? I get why GitHub moved to usage-based billing, but the numbers feel way off compared to the previous system. I had only two short sessions in the VS Code extension, with maybe 2–4 prompts total, and somehow that already consumed 210.5 AI Credits/Tokens/Whatever. Under the old model, that kind of usage would barely make a dent in my monthly quota. Now it feels like a handful of normal interactions can burn through a noticeable percentage of the month's allowance. What worries me, and most of the users, isn't paying for usage. It's not knowing what a few everyday prompts are going to cost. If developers can't reasonably predict their consumption, it's hard to trust Copilot as a tool they'll use throughout the month. Honestly, this feels like the kind of change that pushes people to look at other providers or even go directly to the model vendors instead of using Copilot as their main AI tool. More transparency around how credits are consumed in real-world VS Code workflows would go a long way. |

I have upgraded to Copilot Max with 20k credits a month, I am still spending another $100 dollars plus on credits after the first 20k credits are gone. Which is already costing me $100 dollars a month. Which isn't even enough to sustain a week and half worth of work. I realize that I am burning through nearly 500-1000 AI credits per hour. Using this great tool burns up before I have even hit one full work week. roughly 20-25 hours use and it is completely gone, I then have to buy credits to continue. It is very heavy burden and I feel that a good plan should have closer to 80k credits a month before having to pay extra. That amount is even being modest. Highly recommend 160k credits on a Pro Max account. Just to be reasonable. |
|
@UwUPrincess even 160k isnt enough. They increased costs by a factor of at least 50x so for max plan we should be getting somewhere like 600k to be workable. |
|
@h-archer I agree completely, but I was merely making a suggestion that we're not even at a reasonable amount. I mean either way you need to increase the amount a lot in order for us to be able to use it efficiently. Otherwise, we're going to be paying $2000 a month for barely enough credit to work full-time. |
|
our agreement was $10 per month why now it is telling me about $29, can we have an option for it to stop if $10 is finished. |
|
One thing that helped our team adjust to usage-based billing: stop trusting the monthly number and start auditing per-request. For every call we log input, cached, and output tokens and recompute cost against the price card locally. When our recomputed number diverges from the invoice, we know exactly which requests to point at. It also makes cache behavior visible — cached-input pricing changes real spend a lot more than headline rates do. The schema and a stdlib-only validator are public if useful: https://github.com/NovaRouteAI/per-request-cost-telemetry |

My GitHub account is associated with Fu-Jie, and I have been a long-time annual subscriber. My annual membership was originally set to expire in approximately two months. Earlier today (June 1, 2026), I clicked the "Refund" button in my account settings out of curiosity—not with the intention of immediately cancelling. I expected this action would lead to a confirmation page, not process the refund directly. However, the refund was executed immediately without any secondary confirmation prompt. I believe this is a design flaw in the refund workflow. Any action affecting payment and subscription status should include an explicit confirmation step to prevent unintended consequences from accidental clicks or exploratory actions. The absence of this basic safeguard led to the unexpected cancellation of my membership. To clarify: My request is not about renewal, but about the value of my current active contract. My existing membership had not yet expired and still had nearly two months of service remaining. Given recent changes to GitHub's billing policies, the terms and benefits under my current contract hold unique value during this remaining period. Once refunded and cancelled, renewing would not provide the same conditions. Given the above, I request that my original membership status and expiration date be restored, and I strongly recommend that your team improve the refund process by adding a necessary confirmation step. I look forward to your reply. |
|
Eu também fiz isso no passado e ocorreu o mesmo, eles nem perguntam, te cancelam na hora. Muito louco isso. |
|
Hi @Fu-Jie, Thank you for writing in and explaining the situation. We understand from what you shared that clicking the refund button processed immediately without a confirmation step, and that this was not your intent. We appreciate you flagging this as a UX concern. I've noted this feedback and shared with internal teams for investigation. Regarding restoring your previous subscription: this falls outside what I'm able to action directly. We cannot resolve account related issues in this public forum, and I'm sharing this information with the appropriate team to review whether your original subscription and expiration date can be reinstated. I'll follow up once I have more information. Thank you for your patience. |

I also got the same situation That credit-based usage value is not transparent😒 |
Me too |
|
I dont understand why people are still complaining.. switch to Open AI Codex plan... 20 a month per seat, and a very generous unlimited plans... plus BETTER models than the ones available in gh copilot... words do not mean anything if you dont put your money where your mouth is. |

and i also got that problem just like you :( |

Subject: Large day-to-day difference in Copilot usage for similar work Hello, I am reporting a large difference in Copilot usage between two recent sessions on the same repository. On 2026-05-31, I was able to work through a long session and the usage remained within a range that felt predictable. On 2026-06-01, a session that felt comparable or smaller in visible scope consumed much more of my quota. From my point of view the difference is easy to verify and does not match the apparent amount or difficulty of the work performed. I understand that internal context, tool payload, or other service-side factors may exist, but the current accounting behavior is not transparent enough for planning real project work. Please clarify whether the accounting model changed or whether hidden context growth is being billed in a way that users cannot see. I can provide screenshots, approximate session times, and a short written comparison of the two sessions. 8 hours not heavy work... Regards, |
That is a "them" issue. They should not have made a product with high value, low cost, tie it into systems that a majority of developers use, push it at every turn, then yank the proverbial rug out saying "Oops! Too expensive." |
I mean, it's immoral but also entirely predictable and a classic business strategy. You were effectively all on a discounted preview. If you look at API costs on any frontier model, it is obvious MS was eating over 90% subsidy here. MS may live on a mountain of money but the board would never approve of this forever. |
|
It's the strategy, right? 2/3 of the people move on, 1/3 of them pay more so it's enough to cover everyone who left as far as money coming in and they have 1/3 of the usage. |
My brother's company uses them and are staying with them because of their increased security so I think it's just a way to free up access for them while charging them more than just simply using the API |
|
@dobrowolskijaroslaw1-sys |
|
Dumbest decision ever.... |
|
Guess what? It's called effective management, hah |
|
I upgraded to GitHub Pro ($48/year) but downgraded it back to Free because I cannot subscribe to Copilot at this time. |
Switch to claude code |
|
but at the new consumption rate, that should give you about two days worth !!! |
|
Hm, wondering if there will be similar changes for the many Copilot variants in M365 and general Microsoft products in the future. |
|
@DanielRuf 👋🏻 Thanks for the question. Our team here supports GitHub Copilot specifically, and we don't have visibility into billing plans for Microsoft 365 Copilot or other Microsoft products. For questions about M365 Copilot, Microsoft's product and support channels would be the best resource. I am assuming this was posted in jest, but answering with added context for you or any other users where the info may be helpful. |
|
I had faith in you.. Honestly, I regret not taking the refund offer you made. I genuinely think you're going to lose at least 80% of your client base. This is so ridiculous. It's far better to pay in real money and not by token. The base usage is ridiculously low. |
I hear you.. Sound like a trap indeed. So sad and uneven |
|
The new pricing model is outright robbery!!! I've already canceled my GitHub Copilot plan subscription!! |
|
I think it is more of a pendulum; yes, intially a lot of people will leave, but I have a feeling they will come back... eventually. |
most likely they won't for a fairly simple reason... you have set your whole workflow on copilot, adjusted every single part to your needs and you had to, forcefully, to change to another app, another workflow, another settings and so on.... once you got used to that new one, you won't be coming back even if the older one is better just because you are tired to going back and forth... you most likely won't be doing any of this. you will stick to the new one and start adjusting yourself |

I'm using VS Code with GitHub Copilot and I chose LLM GPT 5.4 Mini, but the platform is deducting the cost of Gemini 3.5 Flash, and because of that, my credits are disappearing without me using them. |
|
I'm currently using SONET 4.6 and it's charging me for GPT 5.4 mini, are you kidding me? |
|
@jakteixeiraf 👋🏻 Hi there, Thank you for reporting this — I want to make sure we understand what's happening. To clarify: you selected GPT 5.4 Mini in VS Code Chat, but your usage report shows charges attributed to Gemini 3.5 Flash. Is that correct? A couple of things to be aware of:
Could you please:
If the CSV confirms you're being charged for a model you didn't select for those specific interactions, please share that detail and we'll investigate further. |

the admin itself is a f*****g bot :) |

How in the hell can 1 prompt which last month would barly cost a cent, now take up $4.51. this is ununsable and needs rolling back. |
|
Yes one small UI bug fix 1,50$ lmao |

Imagine , 2 calls , 550 credits so if i'm in Pro plan = 3 commands -_- |
|
The new pricing model is outright robbery!!! I've already canceled my GitHub Copilot plan subscription!! |
|
Check out the input/output costs for some of the agents, it's insane. Claude Sonnet is 300 input, 1500 output, 30 for cache. |
|
So why has the Pro plan reduced its usage limit by almost 100 times compared to before? I also discovered that the |
Brother you can't even run hundreds of thousands of tokens on a middling, non-Agentic model for $10/month. As someone who has used independent providers and hosted my own locally, frontier models are staggeringly expensive. Power users were eating up thousands and thousands of dollars in model use. |
Except they did do that |
You still got the year you paid for, they're just opting out of offering it going forward. I'm not trying to defend MS' actions here, just the logic behind them and how predictable it was. Have you seen what OAI or Anthropic API key rates are? |
The logic/strategy was more or less a bait and switch. No one would pay the rates they wanted so they got everyone in on the cheap, then raised the prices. With entire companies burning their full year's budget on tokens in 3 months and then moving on from AI, they'll have to figure out a way to make this cheaper. I am fully aware of what it costs and all, but that's not my problem to solve. |
That's just it they didn't get the year they paid for, they changed the terms in the middle of the contract. So youre running your mouth and don't even know what they did. |
|
In case anyone is curious on the value comparison, this is what I am seeing on the $10 plan using GPT-5.4:
The 100 credits is an upper estimate of what I have been seeing if you assume larger prompts. I have seen as low as 10 credits and as high as 60 so far today. On average I seem to hover around 33 credits per prompt. |

@github Community Admin And what if the output is completely useless? Users still have to pay for it—and on top of that, they then have to spend additional time fixing the mistakes in an often lengthy and expensive response. Furthermore, the creativity is completely lost, if you constantly have to monitor your token consumption and then realize, that your tokens are gone, before you even reach a viable result. You really should overthink that, otherwise you will loose a lot of customers... |
|
Join the $10Club :) I am not going to change it at all. I just want to see where it goes. I hope they change their way of billing and continue to support the developers. |

GPT-5 mini lol |

In the previous thread about Usage-based Billing it seemed that a common gripe people had was that unused tokens do not roll-over into the next month. To my knowledge, the topic was never addressed by GitHub. Are GitHub able to disclose the factors contributing to this decision? While GitHub make a valid point regarding the convenience of having one bill and one set of usage controls—I’ve opted to stick to Pro+, burn through my allocated credit in a week, and then pivot to using OpenRouter for the remainder of the month. OpenRouter offers a similar set of advantages that Copilot has over other providers. It can be used within the same VS Code interface. Plus it has more models and credit rolls-over for up to a year. |
Try opencode (has a web ui and vscode plugin) with openrouter as provider. Add some specialized agents and you're off. You can even mix and match providers as you wish. Basically supports all of them since if not supported directly you can input any openAI standard API as a custom provider. |
That may have been true some time ago. I can say with absolute certainty that using OpenRouter within VS Code is as seamless as using Copilot’s own models. If you ask Google today, the AI response will likely give you some outdated info about requiring an extension for it to work. So I understand the skepticism. Creating an account is free. Why not give it a try using one of their free models? That’s what I did last month when I was weighing out my options. |
what do you mean? get token. connect in VSCode. all AIs that support tools connected throuhg standard VSCode can use 100% of tools there. vision, files, everything. from gemini class models to deepseek or anything, local or cloud, does not matter. as long as they speak OpenAI API. |

I've been a paying Copilot user and this new credits system is simply unacceptable. In less than 5 hours of normal work today — the very first day of the new billing — I've already burned through 50% of my monthly plan. This is not a pricing change, this is a bait and switch. We paid for a tool, and overnight it became something we can't afford to use the way we always have. I'm canceling my subscription unless this is reverted or seriously reconsidered. |

@alesanGreat @esp-dev may i know how did you get the option to opt pro+ , i set the budgets but iam strugling to upgrade to pro_, could you please help me on to get pro+ |
|
@pradeepramesh123 about 2 months ago I upgraded to pro+, there was simply an option to upgrade, settings > billing and licensing > licensing, but now iam free :) |
|
@pradeepramesh123 the max plan makes no sense, for this money codex is cheaper and practically unlimited, the max plan would be enough for me for a week |
|
@esp-dev @alesanGreat I would like to upgrade to copilot pro+ on vscode i got an option to upgrade but when i click on it , the page has been redirected to limits but there i dont see an option to upgrade, 
|
|
dont upgrade it will just last a day longer. look elsewhere copilot is the worst offering on the market by a very long margin |
|
We are not the main target customer anymore. If you read the news, you can see that large companies are paying millions for this type of service, they don't need users like us. |
|
Time to ditch Microslop then and go with linux! |
|
Well, my IT lead already looks where to limit Github Usage and try to figure out if it was a necessary usage. Actually you need good models like Opus in Enterprise context, but if time isnt crucial or you havent a customer who spends tons of money for development, I see no reason to use GitHub Copilot anymore. Its too expensive now |

i have upgraded from pro to pro+ a week ago, and is still waiting for the ticket (#4548030 ) to be attended too. What seem to be the issue with attending to tickets. |

I have created tickets several times, the money was refunded and
immediately taken away (debited back without dropping into my account. I
only saw a credit alert and a debit alert immediately. And I've removed my
card from the GitHub account. This is a pure scam from them.

I'm even more bothered on my account, I stopped the payment and cancelled
subscription they still debited me immediately the refunded the money. They
could easily get my fund anytime. They are bunch of criminals honestly and
I'll make sure they pay heavily on this cuz I have all evidence on what I
subscribed for and what they usually charge. And why would they refund and
take it back without allowing it to stay in my account. Bunch of th!eves.

Feel a bit ripped off £10 for two days of coding :( |
|
Not to mention if you downgrade mid-cycle, they just wipe the credits from your profile even though you already paid for them. Absolutely awful. |
|
There's no reason not to provide an API key now. |

This bunch of thieves messaged me again after taking my money without any
reason.
My $77 was gone even before they started billing per usage, they usually
bill me $10 per month and if my usage is exhausted the credit stops until
the next month.
July I received a debit alert of $77 dollars for no reason and till now, no
response from regarding that from the bunch of thieves.
That very day I cancelled my $10 monthly subscription instantly.
This evening I received an email that they tried billing my account but
not successful, I should reach out to my bank. What a fùck are they doing.
Extorting people now Or what?
This is extortion, I'm gonna sue them, they took my $77 from my account
without subscribing for it except pro sub...
I've been paying $10 every month I sent the bunch of thieves a message and
created several tickets nothing was done and I cancelled all my
subscriptions after that, now they want to bill my account without any
active subscription on my account...
They are surely a criminal... And for this now, I'm taking it up on them
about my money. They will hear from my lawyer very soon.

They ignored my support ticket. I felt betrayed by the community I trusted
most. No one could have imagined I'd make the decision to leave completely;
I decided to migrate all my code repositories to GitLab and cut off all
trust. They wouldn't care about individual users like us anyway.

My side project is www.freepi.ai, It's a 100% free AI coding tool (based on the pi Harness) with DeepSeek V4 flash, AND I'm using really good fast providers, so it's super fast. (Up to 800tks! Although often around 100-200). |

Hello, The situation, step by step: However, after the successful payment, my Copilot account was NOT activated. Upon review, I discovered that a duplicate invoice for the exact same amount had been issued immediately. My demands, clearly stated: Sirus Abdollahi Info Payment Credit Card Bank |

This is who they are... They took my money and refused to respond to
tickets emails over a month now. I've told them I will also take it up with
them.

Hello,
I am writing to you as a paying Enterprise customer, and let me start by
saying that I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with the level of
support your company has provided.
The situation, step by step:
On the 23rd of this month, an invoice of $746 was issued for GitHub
Copilot usage.
On that same day, I attempted twice to save a new card and complete the
payment, but received errors for unknown reasons.
On the 28th, I successfully paid the invoice using the previous card. The
amount was charged to my account.
However, after the successful payment, my Copilot account was NOT
activated. Upon review, I discovered that a duplicate invoice for the exact
same amount had been issued immediately.
Then the real disaster began:
I opened a ticket and your automated bots gave me only repetitive,
illogical responses that resolved nothing.
I was forced to contact my bank to trace the payment. The bank confirmed
the payment was successful and provided me with a Reference Number and
Approval Code, which I am ready to provide to you.
Since the 28th — that is now over 100 hours — I have opened 8 to 10
tickets, all receiving only automated bot replies.
I have also sent 5 emails through your site's contact form and received
zero responses.
Over 100 hours, my company's engineering team has been unable to work on
our projects. This means missed deadlines for our clients and direct
financial and reputational damage to a company that has been your loyal
customer for years, with more than 140 active projects hosted on GitHub.
For a company of your size and market value, this level of support is
simply unacceptable. You charged my money, issued a duplicate invoice, and
then no human being responds to us at all?! It is as if either every one of
your customers deals with these useless bots, or you have no real customers
to justify having live support.
I pay for an Enterprise account. I expect a level of service worthy of
that, not copy-pasted bot responses.
My demands, clearly stated:
Immediate activation of our Copilot account
Cancellation and removal of the duplicate $746 invoice.
Review of the confirmed payment using the Reference Number and Approval
Code I can provide.
A real human being to handle this until it is fully resolved.
Compensation for the damage caused by over 100 hours of blocked work for
our team.
If this is not resolved within a reasonable timeframe, I will escalate
this complaint publicly through social media, press, and legal channels.
This treatment of a loyal, long-term customer hosting over 140 projects on
your platform is neither understandable nor forgivable.
Please have a human representative respond to this email today.
Regards (barely),

I think the best solution to address this disrespect to companies is to file a lawsuit against GitHub, because we are paying the full enterprise cost, and in return for the services they are providing us, they are charging us for it. Now, we have paid their fees, and we haven't received any service whatsoever. I am truly sorry for a company like GitHub that treats its customers this way. I previously had a GitLab enterprise account, and everything there was good, everything was easy. I only switched to GitHub because of Copilot. Now I regret doing so, and I have configured all my company's infrastructure relative to GitHub. Now, for almost 5 days, I've been incurring losses, all my company's systems are in disarray, and all my employees are sitting idle, waiting for someone to respond. Is GitHub accountable to the customers it is causing damage to? |

I should point out that over the past month, Codex has had its quota reset multiple times, while GitHub, like a hungry ghost, used up $100 worth of my quota in one hour and then suspended my account. |
🆕 Community Manager Update: June 16, 2026
Hello everyone,
We're reopening sign-ups for GitHub Copilot Student, Pro, Pro+, and Max plans gradually over the next couple of weeks for new subscribers. If you've been waiting to get started with Copilot, select the plan that fits your needs. If your preferred option isn't available yet, check back soon.
If you find that you're using more than what's included in your current plan, we've made some updates to help you get the best experience: upgrade to unlock more included usage or pay as you go and stay on your current plan.
We've updated the body of this discussion to reflect updates regarding new sign-ups, usage and billing. Please find answer…
