Microsoft's GitHub is ending flat-rate billing for Copilot on June 1, 2026, switching to usage-based metered tokens after acknowledging the request-based model is no longer sustainable. Copilot Pro subscribers ($10/month) will receive 1,000 GitHub AI Credits monthly, with each credit worth $0.01.

GitHub Copilot transitions to token-based pricing effective June 1, 2026, replacing its premium request unit system. Base subscription prices remain unchanged at $10/month for Pro and $39/month for Pro+, but users now receive equivalent monthly AI Credits that deplete with usage—and service stops when credits run out.
