Announcement & FAQ: Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual Plans #192963
-
Announcement: Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual PlansImportant April 24, 2026: We have updated the main body of this post to answer frequently asked questions. We will continue to edit as more information becomes available. We've recently announced that we’re making the following changes to GitHub Copilot’s Individual plans to protect the experience for existing customers: pausing new sign-ups, tightening usage limits, and adjusting model availability. We know these changes are disruptive, and we want to be clear about why we're making them, and how they will affect you. Here’s what’s changing and why:
For full details on all of the changes and how usage limits work in GitHub Copilot, visit the GitHub Blog: Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual Plans These changes are necessary to ensure we can serve existing customers with a predictable experience. If you hit unexpected limits or these changes just don’t work for you, you can cancel your Pro or Pro+ subscription and receive a refund for the time remaining on your current subscription. ℹ️ Instructions are included in the FAQ below. This discussion may be updated if new information becomes available. Subscribe to receive notifications of any new posts. Caution This community is managed by GitHub employees, but it is not a support forum and there is no SLA or guarantee each post will get a response from a community manager or product leader. We will not permit harassment of other users and GitHub staff. We will remove and posts or comments that violate the Community Code of Conduct and block those accounts from this org. This is consistent with our normal moderation practices. 📌 Frequently Asked Questions1. How to request a refundTo request a refund, go to For more information, visit our docs: About billing for individual GitHub Copilot plans Important The Community Discussions is a public forum, please do not share any personal or billing information like email address, password, or payment information when posting. 2. Can existing customers change plans?While new sign-ups are paused, users with existing plans can still migrate between paid plans.
3. I've hit my seven-day limit - what do I do?Auto will continue to work once you've hit your 7-day limit. We're aware of some errors and are actively investigating those flagged in this thread. Thank you for reporting them. Starting June 1, users will have monthly included usage (just like they do today with PRUs). However, all model usage will incur AI Credit consumption. There are no options to continue using Copilot without waiting for the included usage to reset, enabling additional spend, or upgrading. 4. Why am I hitting rate limits sooner?New rate limits are part of this change, including further restrictions on individual rates. We’re also adding more transparent rate-limit tracking, so it’s easier to see when you’re approaching your limits. We do not have an ETA, yet when this will ship. 5. Why was Opus removed from Copilot Pro?Opus-family models have been removed from Copilot Pro. Rate limits that would be required to keep Opus sustainable on Pro would result in a worse overall experience than using a capable model without those limits. Users would likely hit their cap very quickly. 6. Can I get an exception or workaround?At this time, we’re not able to offer exceptions or workarounds for this change. Copilot Free remains available for signups, and existing users will not be removed. 🎒 GitHub Education and Student Specific Questions7. Why can't I sign up for Copilot Student right now?New signups for Copilot Student are currently paused while we work to provide a more reliable experience for all users. If you already have access, it will remain active. A few important notes:
8. What exactly changed for Education users?These updates apply across Copilot plans, including Education users.
9. I renewed my student coupon early and lost access to Copilot Student. Is that expected?Renewing your student coupon early should not remove your Copilot Student access. If you are having trouble, please contact us. 10. I'm newly eligible for Copilot Student but have never activated it. Can I sign up now?At this time, new activations of Copilot Student, Pro, and Pro+ are paused. Your GitHub Education verification is active and has not been removed. The pause affects the ability to activate Copilot Student or a Copilot paid plan. When signups resume, you will be able to activate the Education benefit if you are still eligible. In the meantime, Copilot Free remains available for signups. We do not have an estimated timeframe to share yet for when the pause will end. Updates will be posted in this discussion post. 🟣 GitHub Pro11. What's the difference between GitHub Pro and Copilot Pro?
12. I have a GitHub Pro plan, does that mean I can upgrade to Copilot Pro/Pro+?
13. I bought a GitHub Pro plan thinking it would enable access to Copilot Pro/Pro+ plans, how do I cancel it?

I understand that Github needs to make money from this. But removing Opus from PAID plans is simply asking me to dump my Copilot subscription and switch to Cursor. And I think it's absolutely RUDE to do this with so little prior notice. I basically found out days before my new billing cycle began. This should have been communicated clearly, via e-mail, to all subscribers. |

This is so outrageous and insane that it borders on abuse. Imagine offering a product and, halfway through, while you're PAYING, they remove your already expensive product—you've already spent a lot—and you still don't have access to it anymore. It's utter nonsense. |

Imagine this is done on day one of the subscription. You are promises a month of X and then on the first day you only get Y. And then you get told "you can always cancel it if you don't like it". Yeah. That's the bare minimum and borders on false advertising. Oh well it was probably covered on page 461 of some TOS. If you struggle then do a batter job at communicating changes. I don't need to ask an AI that tells me to go here to see its gone all tits up. You have the channels to let people know this better. |

Agreed. I was also thinking that I probably made a mistake of not opting to purchase the yearly subscription before hand expecting the new policy shouldn't be affecting the agreements and contracts made before the change. Thats how it should be. This is purely a breach of contract, isn't it? |

Agreed, as a solo dev, copilot pro was a very good, cheap, and useful product. Alongside the frustration of these new awsome rate limits, I've also lost the most useful model. (yay). I'm not paying microsoft $40 just because they could not be bothered to use some of their billions to keep the service going, and people happy. Nope. Wonder what their PR team is going to do about this. I suppose I might as well try and get a good gpu and go local..... |

Yep... I saw this coming, but it's disappointing to see you soft-deprecating the service to nudge us towards the door. I suppose per-request billing wasn't profitable... The line « If you hit unexpected limits or these changes just don't work for you, you can cancel your Pro or Pro+ subscription and you will not be charged for April usage. » makes the manoeuvre rather obvious… Time to give Claude Code another go! |

🤔 How close are we from seeing the "Max" subscription plan. I am seriously considering refunding my github copilot pro+ subscriptions and switching to Claude 200$ plan but I am holding back in hope to see a better deal from microsoft. |

Based on their recent moves, my guess is that the Max plan might just be the experience you already have with the old Pro+, at a higher price. |

According to the official Claude price list (and this is how we will pay in the new copilot), the tokens that can be squeezed from a max200 subscription would cost about $4,000 per month - do they really think they will find suckers who will pay such rates? |

nowhere near enough to keep paying. i have a year sub that i converted to pro+ and this bs about the weekly token cap is clearly BAIT-AND-SWITCH. why TF would I pay microsoft/github $40/month for something I get free or $10/month (minimax, glm, qwen, etc). minimax has been far more stable than anthropic or copilot. there are already many models that beat opus 4.6 on avg benchmarks, and as you all know opus is widely seen as king. (it isn't though. pull up pinchbench dot com and click to sort by avg score, which if you are intelligent it is immediately obvious why that matters more than the outlier "best ever" that happened on that one test one time. notice how many beat opus. (currently 3 but this varies)) |

You can access some of those models through tools like Ollama and OpenCode Go, and if you use Z.ai’s GLM 5.1, the pricing can be very reasonable for the amount of work you get out of it. In my case, with a heavy multi-subagent workflow, I can usually push it close to the limit and still get a lot of usable time before the 5-hour reset window. Most people will probably never hit that level of usage, so for average users it can stretch quite a bit further. I bought the yearly Pro plan for around $145 back in December, and last I checked it looked closer to $180. I locked it in early because I suspected the price would go up later. As for the model quality, I would compare GLM more to the Sonnet 4.5 style of model behavior. Earlier versions felt closer to that, and while they can sometimes get a bit verbose, they are still genuinely useful models to work with. I have not yet put 5.1 through my longest workflows, so I would not overstate that part yet, but the early results are promising. OpenCode and Ollama also make these models easier to test, but the real answer is still the same: do the math for your own workflow. That is what matters most. Pricing only looks good or bad once you measure it against how many hours of real work you can actually get out of it. |

I fully understand the need to make changes like these (although I disagree with the way it was done). That being said, the BIGGEST issue I have is not the fact that Opus 4.7 costs 7.5x but the fact that it's only on MEDIUM THINKING. Not only is 4.7 a serious regression to 4.5 and 4.6 but as a Max user on CC, I never run Opus on medium thinking as it's just a complete waste of tokens. Use Opus with High or Max and Sonnet for anything else. I would highly suggest the team enable High mode for 4.7 on Copilot... that's the least they could do. |

Deleting 4.5/4.6 opus models, its because they actually working, and now they want you to pay more and more money for something that actually working, I guess me and most of others dont really need the 4.7 model, because 4.6 doing the work fine, so why they deleted the 4.5/4.6 opus models, because they want force you pay more and more money for something that actually working 4.7 |

Working with Opus 4.7 for the last few days... it's bad. Really, really bad. At least in its current form, it consistently goes off script compared to 4.6, to the point that it's essentially useless. |

This is tremendously terrible behaviour GH. Nothing more than a money grab once again, we are already paying 3X the tokens for the model and do so sparingly. Why would you make this an incremental cost on your side? We know its possible because we were already using it. Big Thumbs Down from an org based on enablement for all. |

This bait-and-switch is completely unacceptable. You silently killed Opus 4.6 which completely broke my agent coding workflows and CLI tasks right when I needed them most. First you stripped the student access, then you introduced opaque hourly + weekly rate limits that just making the AUTO model throw 401 token expired errors, and now we are suddenly expected to pay $40/month!!!! just to get a restricted 4.7 locked on medium thinking? We subscribed for a reliable dev tool, not a rug pull. If your infrastructure can't handle the load, don't sell the tier. :D |

@anjeleno do the math first. even with the updated pricing MS/GH are definitely not getting any profit off of copilot and still subsidize it. but hey - go for it. cancel your Pro, try BYOK and tell us how much you saved |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
@psimsa I have... Before I make any final decision, I'm waiting to see if Microsoft reverses course. If I do rip off the band-aid, I'll gladly share the BYOK math once the migration is done, but you're missing the point. It isn't just about trying to save $10 a month; it's about predictable performance. Right now, losing the unthrottled reasoning of Opus 4.6 and being forced to burn tokens 2.5x faster (jumping from a 3x to a 7.5x multiplier) for a degraded, "Medium thinking" model just isn't worth the price of the subscription. Whether Microsoft is taking a loss on compute or not, silently rug-pulling your paying users isn't the solution. Honesty and transparency should still matter. In the meantime, considering reactivating my Cursor subscription and finding other workarounds to get reliable access to the models I've built workflows around and have come to depend on. |

if you want to try out my personal-IDE repo its live, still rough though . It load-balances across free API plans (multiple), your own paid keys, and local models in a fallback death spiral. Also runs a 24/7 autobuilding agent. I started building this when I realized Copilot's pricing was a honeymoon. Honeymoon over. June = new multipliers = I can't afford dev testing anymore. If you use it, you can report bugs to my server (get my AI workflow updates) or local-only (your cloud/local models fix stuff). |

Unless I was unlucky with recent 2-3 requests (although it was gpt5.4 medium so should eat like 1-2% max), or github being slow (both possible) I think they reduced the total number of requests as well. I have been at ~60-70% and im at 80%. MAYBE I AM INCORRECT. BUT. Without any number from GitHub I WILL assume I am correct and pretend to be angry, while looking for alternative. Google at least has balls to show you all the graphs of your usage. Here? I can only trust that they are not doing anything, while staring at "%" |

Removed Github Student Pack -> People transfered to Github Copilot Pro (Free trials) -> Paused all free trials -> People who were still going to pay afterwards upgrades to Github Copilot Pro -> Removes the top models (Opus 4.5 & Opus 4.6) that most people used from Github Copilot Pro -> ALSO removes/replace Opus 4.5 & Opus 4.6 with Opus 4.7 with more than double the request cost on the more expensive plan... Github, this is as anti-consumer as you can possibly get within the span of a few weeks. I get you might be losing a bit of money, but straight up removing and replacing the models and plans that people are using/paying for is a dumb move. There are guaranteed tons of people that will 100% cancel their subscription and move to Claude or OpenAI's plans instead. The main reason I used Github Copilot Pro was because you provided the top Claude models in VS Code with simple integration along with other models such as GPT 5.4. However, removing that also removes peoples incentive to continue their subscription. Why would people not just pay Claude and use their Claude Code with integrated SKILL marketplace and a bunch of useful features instead? |

i need a github Copilot replacement before June so ive begun back working on my personal ide you can try it too if you want its the personal-ide repo. It's messy but it works: fallback across free tiers, paid models if you have keys, local models as last resort. Plus a 24/7 agent that autobuilds on loop. I've been racing to finish this because I saw the price hike coming. It's here. June = multiplier hell. Also includes in-app reporting — send bugs to my server (get AI workflow updates) or handle locally via cloud/local models. Contributions very welcome. |

That's nuts, I'm Pro + subscriber and my task was corrupted in middle of the flight. What are you doing???? You removed most usable model for what? for Opus 4.7 which cost almost 3 times more that Opus 4.6, do you think I'm an idiot, I won't pay another round for that just because you want me to pay for that. that's insane you broke my work and orchestration and now you want me to pay more for this kind of service. No way I will do that. Thank for service. |

Anthropic is good but expensive. First of all you don't always need those top models. Use the right model for the right task. Optimize your agents, skills, rules, context etc. to get the best results with the least amount of tokens. There are some good models that come close to the Claude's for a fraction of the costs, so you have a choice. Of course your employers should pay for the right tooling. |

ive been working on a way to completely relieve myself of the burden of big ai totality...So here's my personal-IDE experiment: it spreads requests across free tier accounts, paid APIs (if you plug them in), and local models when everything else is rate-limited. Oh and there's a 24/7 background agent that never stops rebuilding. I started this because Copilot's pricing model was obviously a trap. Trap just sprung. Now I have until June before per-request costs go nuclear. Feel free to raid the repo, contribute, or just steal ideas. |

Hi @Vore667, from our FAQ above:
Your GitHub Education verification is active and has not been removed. The pause affects the ability to activate Copilot Student or a Copilot paid plan. When signups resume, you will be able to activate the Education benefit if you are still eligible. In the meantime, Copilot Free remains available for signups. We do not have an estimated timeframe to share yet for when the pause will end. Updates will be posted in this discussion post. |

Will there be a mechanism for Copilot Pro subscriptions under GitHub Education (faculty) to pay for additional credits when they meet their limit? This previously was not an option under the old model. With the likelihood of hitting limits being higher code June, I believe the ability for to purchase additional credits will be vital. I believe many of us are happy to pay-- we just can't afford to loose access mid-work. |

Everyone lets build our own tool together. If youre fed up with this "not having control" We can already use the agent workflow and the 24/7 agent flow is almost completely ready just a few more bugs to squash. Ive also started developing a training pipeline that will actually compensate people for their data having been trained on. The otger part is we dont have GPU farms to compete...thats why im making a platform where we can all share our compute and train ai nano models together and share our nanos globally between each other. We already have our nanos beating dense transformers by no less than 9% but anyone who wants to join me hmu. The repo is on my page its called Personal_IDE The help section in the app is the full roadmap of all features to be implemented. Lets really put our heads together you guys or we will never win in this woeld..the big companies will just keep beinng able to do whatever they want with us...i really want to connect with more devs guys. We cant keep letting ourself just get screwed like this. |

Recently I opened a ticket complaining about the GitHub Copilot changes. On 21st of each month my subscriptions renewed and on 1st, the usage would reset. During April (and months before as I normally was doing) I use to keep some % of usage to use Opus. During April, Opus was removed from Pro subscription and I ended up that month without using my whole quota and on 21st I paid again (because also weekly limit was added in the middle of my subscription). So on April I paid $20 for the 2 periods (that was expected). I asked for these returns and what I got was $6.67 back. Where is the rest of my refund? When I pay for something I want that. It is simple. If in the middle of my subscription you removed something, it is not my fault. I want the money back for that. Otherwise make some announcements and apply the changes in the next subscription. That'd be the proper way. That's not a legal move and honestly I can take further actions. |

Hi @erperejildo, I'm sorry to hear you did not receive the refund amount expected. This community is managed by GitHub employees, but it is not a support forum. The only place to go for answers to account-specific questions like this one is opening a ticket on our Support page. There are an extremely high volume of Support tickets right now, yours will be answered in the order it was received based on the amount of tickets ahead of yours. Please open only one ticket per request. Thank you! |

I was previously an active GitHub Copilot Pro subscriber, but my subscription was downgraded to Copilot Free due to an overdue payment issue. I have now fully paid the invoice successfully, but since plan upgrades are currently paused, I’m unable to restore/re-subscribe to Copilot Pro. Has anyone in a similar situation (existing subscriber with paid overdue invoice) managed to get their Copilot Pro access restored manually by GitHub Support? |

No. They have a weird billing system. I paid on the 7th but they tried to charge me on the 3rd. This is not a 30 day rollover period and it sits outside the scope of the actual contract between the entity and customer. |

My problem is not with the Billing, but unable to upgrade to Copilot pro even after paying my bills, since they have downgraded my existing account to copilot free. |

Yea they seem to be ignoring support requests about this kind of thing. I accidentally downgraded from Pro+ to Free instead of to the Pro level I was getting for free as an open source dev and now I can't get it back. Radio silence for 3 weeks. |

I am a retired solo developer now volunteering for a charity and building a Blazor web app for them. I am using Visual Studio 2026 and GitHub CoPilot Pro to assist in the development of the web app, entirely within Visual Studio. I am not using anything other than prompts within Visual Studio's GitHub CoPilot chat window. So none of the heavy lifting stuff. I was using Claude Sonnet 4.6 as my default in agent mode. In use it works as if I was still the senior dev handing out tasks to junior coders then checking their work and ensuring code quality, and sending it back for them to fix if they got it wrong. It has helped enormously in getting the project written far far faster than I could have managed solo. Not without it's frustrations when it repeatedly gets things wrong but still even then faster than beating head against a bug wall as I've done for last 40 years. The $10 a month worked well as I was using an average of around 10 premium requests a day, with a budget of extra $5 a month for overruns. I still have 8 months to run on my CoPilot Pro subscription. What I don't yet understand is what the impact of usage pricing on my use case. I understood that there would be something appearing in May to allow users to see what their previous months usage would be under the new charging structure but as yet I've seen no links to that? What I want to understand is will I be able to continue this sort of usage? What is the likely impact on the monthly cost? As a retired charity volunteer the $10 a month was perfectly acceptable and managable. Is it the case that the monthly sub will buy X widgets (for want of the correct term) of usage a month and each prompt will consume Y widgets subject to a weekly cap on usage? If that's the correct understanding of the new pricing structure how can I assess what the new usage is likely to be and will I be able to continue using Visual Studio 2026 (and VS code) to enter prompts and have the agent create/update my code without it costing unsustainable amounts? |

So it's almost a month - there is no option to unsubscribe: My ticket is also on for 3 weeks about refund. So they are just going to pretend and stay quiet and change money? Get CTO already. |

So, you saying I will have less for the same money? And will not have x5 you promised me when I bought pro+ anymore? Is it even legal to do such changes? You simply scamming me, that is not on what I bought subscription. |

Or even better, you just telling it will be changed, how - you are not saying (we really don't know what will we have in May, in just two weeks, and how much of service we will have, at all zero information). I would understand if you would cancel all subscriptions with notification in advance at least 3 months to let people prepare or migrate to other platforms. Then cancel all old subscriptions with old agreements and promises, and propose new, that people will decide if they want. But no, we continue pay same money - and what will we have in May... only you decides. It is half of month left, and still no clue. |
