GitHub Copilot adopts usage-based pricing starting June

GitHub will charge Copilot users based on actual AI usage starting June 1, replacing the current fixed-amount quota with monthly AI Credits equal to a subscriber’s plan. Extra usage beyond credits will be billed by token consumption at model-specific rates, with OpenAI GPT model costs varying by complexity. Simple AI suggestions remain free, but Copilot code reviews will incur GitHub Actions minutes. A preview bill tool will estimate charges before rollout, as GitHub says the shift aligns pricing with actual costs and supports sustainable, reliable service amid rising AI compute demand.
