GitHub Copilot to switch to token-based billing it was expected, but not that soon... Starting June 1st, 2026, GitHub Copilot will switch from Premium Requests to GitHub AI Credits. Basically instead of having 300 requests (whether it's one message or an hour long session), you're actually billed per-token like with every other API. Was good while it lasted... They are of course doing that because the current model isn't sustainable and abuses their infra, people used the Ask Question tool to run hour-long sessions and only be billed 1 request, with the model simply using it to ask for the next prompt. A quick recap of changes : - Pro plan gives 1000 monthly AI Credits, Pro+ gives 3900 (1 credit => $0.01) - Users will see in May in their Billing settings an estimate of their current usage with the new system - Models multipliers will also change, with no more 0x models, best Claude ones becoming 27x and best OpenAI ones becoming 6x (no pricing update for 5.5 yet) - GitHub Copilot code review will start consuming GitHub Actions minutes on top of those AI Credits - ChatGPT 5.3-Codex is removed from self-selection in the Student plan (right now) but stays available in Auto selection [blog post, individuals pricing, models multipliers, review action blog, student blog]
