AI BriefingGitHub Copilot Raises Claude Rates by Up to 9x
Key point
Starting June 1, 2026, GitHub Copilot will switch to usage-based billing, raising Claude rates for existing annual plans by up to 9x.
Details
GitHub Copilot will switch to usage-based billing starting June 1, 2026. Billing will be calculated in GitHub AI Credits based on input, output, and cache tokens.
Existing Copilot Pro/Pro+ annual plan subscribers can choose to keep request-based billing, switch to a monthly plan, or get a refund and resubscribe. If you switch to monthly usage-based billing, the multiplier changes below will not apply.
For those who keep annual request-based billing, the Claude model multipliers will increase significantly.
- Claude Sonnet 4.5: 1 -> 6
- Claude Sonnet 4.6: 1 -> 9
- Claude Opus 4.5: 3 -> 15
- Claude Opus 4.6: 3 -> 27
- Claude Opus 4.7: 15 -> 27
- Claude Haiku 4.5: 0.33 -> 0.33
GitHub explained that the existing premium request model is no longer sustainable due to rising inference costs.
