Vojta Roček posts on X that the AI hype era ends as GitHub Copilot shifts to token-based billing on June 1, 2026, following CTO Uber burning a yearly AI budget in four months and Anthropic testing Claude Code removal from the $20 plan. The multiplier for Claude Opus usage jumps from 3x to 27x without email notification. The post states that the $20 monthly flat rate never reflected true costs and now companies face the real invoice, with Gartner noting 50 percent of firms that laid off staff for AI will rehire.
