Per-token AI charges come to GitHub Copilot

Starting June 1, 2026, GitHub Copilot will shift from a flat-rate subscription to a per-token pricing model. Users will pay based on tokens consumed (input + output), similar to LLM API charges. The base Copilot Pro tier ($10/month) will receive 1,000 AI Credits (1 cent each). Code completions and Next Edit suggestions remain free. This aligns with industry moves by Anthropic and OpenAI but may discourage user exploration. Enterprises must weigh efficiency gains against rising costs.
