Details

New sign-ups are temporarily paused for the GitHub Copilot Individual plan, and usage limits will become stricter.

  • Pause new sign-ups for Pro, Pro+, Student
  • Reduced usage limits for Pro, with Pro+ offering more than 5x the limit of Pro
  • Opus models removed from Pro, with only Opus 4.7 available on Pro+
  • Added current usage warning displays to VS Code and Copilot CLI
  • Session limits and weekly (7-day) limits will be operated on a token basis
  • Contacting GitHub support between April 20 and May 20 allows a refund for April usage

GitHub explains that as agentic workflows and parallel execution have increased, cost and infrastructure burdens have grown, making it difficult to maintain service stability under the existing plan structure.
