GitHub Copilot moves to usage-based billing effective June 1, 2026

GitHub transitions Copilot customers to usage-based billing on June 1, 2026, replacing premium requests with GitHub AI Credits based on token consumption. Base plan prices remain unchanged at Pro $10/month including $10 credits, Pro+ $39/month including $39 credits, Business $19/user/month including $19 credits, and Enterprise $39/user/month including $39 credits. Code completions and Next Edit suggestions consume no credits while Copilot code review begins consuming GitHub Actions minutes on the same date. Mario Rodriguez, GitHub Chief Product Officer, announced the shift to align pricing with escalating inference costs from agentic usage and to ensure long-term service reliability. Microsoft referenced the June 1 transition in its fiscal year 2026 third quarter earnings call.
