billing

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 will replace Copilot's flat subscription model with usage-based billing starting June 1, 2025. Users will consume GitHub AI Credits based on their actual Copilot usage, marking a significant shift in the company's pricing strategy.

Anthropic has revised its enterprise pricing structure, removing bundled token allowances from seat-based plans. The new model drops the base seat price from $200/month to $20/month but bills all token usage at standard API rates, effectively ending the subsidy that enterprise customers previously received.

Anthropic is enforcing separate billing for Claude Code subscribers using third-party tools like OpenClaw, starting April 4, 2026. Subscribers can no longer use their subscription limits for these integrations and must pay through a new pay-as-you-go model. The decision follows OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger's move to OpenAI.
