GitHub Copilot Shifts to Usage-Based Billing

GitHub announced that it will change Copilot's billing system from the existing fixed subscription model to a usage-based billing method that charges based on actual usage.

This change focuses on providing flexibility so that users can optimize costs according to their usage patterns and pay only for what they use.

The key changes are as follows:

• Billing method transition: Introduction of a usage-based model instead of a fixed monthly/annual subscription fee.
• Cost efficiency: Supports flexible cost management for users with low usage or companies with specific usage patterns.
