GitHub Copilot has transitioned all plans to usage-based billing as of June 1, 2026. The new model replaces request units with token-metered 'GitHub AI Credits.' While inline code completions remain unlimited, agentic and terminal-based interactions now consume credits, with costs varying by model. Pro plans include 1,500 credits monthly.
