Haha, I was also considering buying a yearly subscription at the time. My colleague told me, "It's the present, who knows what will happen next month? AI changes so fast, nobody knows." So, I bought a monthly subscription. Now, it turns out he was right. We've all switched to other AI software now. Since June 3rd, I haven't used Copilot at all. See if you can get a refund. Also, I hope you can find better software. |

I guess they just want us all to switch to Chinese models like Qwen, that were already like 10x cheaper now they will be 100x cheaper and ~90% as good. |

Yes after the payments they said within in last two days I completed my credit limits. Moving away from github copilot to free or in expensive models. |

Hi @andresrogers, I can understand why this feels frustrating, especially if your usage patterns haven't changed but your credit consumption has increased significantly after the recent billing updates. One thing that might help the GitHub team investigate is sharing:
More transparency around credit consumption, historical comparisons, and per-feature usage would probably help users better understand where credits are being spent. Hopefully the team can provide additional clarification on the recent changes and whether there are ways to optimize usage under the new model. |

I raised two tickets about a similar issue. I pay for my plan the 14 dollars a month on the 29th each month. Used about 107 minutes of the agent in 5 days. Then I get a note my Copilot minutes are almost at max which limit is 1500 minutes. I am sitting here with 2900 minutes of agents I can't use although I literally just paid for the month. It is my theory they haven't reset the Copilot minutes this billing cycle. However, I didn't get a reply in my tickets. Not a good customer service. |

I work for business that has 800,000 employees globally we have multiple contracts with Microsoft, but now after seeing how my own personal sub is eaten away within 6 days and I have to wait to July now i'm not recommending github copilot for our company. Im recommending this for all my developer friends in different companies and contractors also. Quite a few have already moaned about it and quit their subscriptions moved to Claude code and others. Github Copilot revenue will drop now as nobody will buy into this model. Cant see this lasting. |

Just burned through my monthly limit in 6 days (was previously never getting anywhere close). Look, love github / vscode / copilot but I am super motivated to switch to a different product in June if I want to get work done. I also have an annual subscription which was retroactively non consensually "renegotiated". Previously I could see my token usage, but now I've jsut used "100%". Clicking around I can see that it is 300 out of 300 possible premium requests. WTF is a "premium request", and if I switch from co-pilot Pro to co-pilot Pro++ how long before I need to move to co-pilot-pro++ of co-pilot-pro-unlimited or something stupid to keep doing the same thing |

Jeeezus EFFING Christ!!! I just had the same thing happen to me!! AND WITHOUT A WARNING!! Just stops in the middle of the session. No warning. I thought, this can't be right. ... I'm a hobbyist and I bought an annual subscription, I only use it for about one hour a day, and now you're telling me to pay up????? After only 6 days??? And not even a lower/older "free" model to switch too apparently. Not cool, not cool at all. I think I'm going Claude. Hopefully they'll be a little bit more respectful (this is what you pay -> this is what you get) and not change the terms in the middle of the subscription, which is such an a*hole move. Please fill in all the expletives here you think of.. Man, what a bunch of m*rons. I'm so furious right, now, and I'm not even a PRO. Also, the usage data ARE NOT CLEAR AT ALL. Too many different categories. |

I understand they were subsidizing this like a drug dealer, but I think they might have picked a more transparent path towards raising the price of the drugs. The user interface is a complete shit show. It’s like somebody panicked and had to roll this out overnight. Manage budget just takes you to bland boxes at all shows 0% or 100%. I still have no idea what I would actually be getting if I upgrade it so for now I’m going to give my cash to a more ethical drug dealer |

I agree! They keep changing the subscription tiers and billing rules one after another without warning. At first, I was on the $100 annual plan. In April, I found that the Claude Opus 4.6 model had been removed from that plan. Then they moved that model into a higher-tier plan, Pro+. I had no choice but to pay extra to upgrade to Pro+. But after that, they changed the billing rules again. This is shameless. I’ve decided to stop using it too. I paid more money, only to have the usage run out in just a few days. |

Like my a lot of users here I'm disappointed about the usage/price, it's not usable at all for a daily or nightly working session. I have a copilot pro+ subscription and I clearly not renew it. |

I also requested a restore of my tokens. Copilot wasted $55 of tokens in one day and didn't produce a single line of code. Just could waste my entire Saturday. When the model is the first to admit that couldn't produce anything the minimum was for Github to give back the tokens. Its amazing that the model can't give feedback to Github. Probably they want to make sure that they can't receive the feedback from the model itself. |

I decided to switch to Cursor. Better price structure and more control. |

### 2 request- 12$ gone in 1 day- 29 days more to reset the limit - Big Scam "You've reached your monthly credit limit. Please enable additional paid credits, upgrade to Copilot Pro+, or wait until your credits reset on July 1, 2026."

I’ve switched to DeepSeek V4. It might not be as good as Claude 4.6, but it performs better than Gemini 3.1 in specific scenarios. And the biggest advantage is that, unlike Claude or Gemini, it doesn’t sometimes act up—like taking liberties or telling lies! Also, with the current Copilot subscription plans, I’m not sure which model would last me even half a month. Oh! Gemini 3 Flash (Preview) has gone up nearly 20 times |

Vaued Microsoft, You've exhausted your premium (bank account) quota. Please enable additional paid premium (features that we had previously), upgrade to Copilot Pro+(No Thank You), or wait for your allowance to (run out from angry shareholders). Manage Budget |

Copilot in GitHub
Body
Last month used 80% during the whole month, now 98% in only 3 days.
These changes are completely illegal that's not the plan i purchased for one year, it's a unilateral change in the conditions of the contract, the credit usage as well as the credits charged per model can't just change 6x like that when the plan was for a whole year in those conditions. I don't care about the legalese BS excuses they try to gas-light us, it's just deceitful marketing and scamming
