GitHub Copilot changes billing and credits run out in a few hours, users report

▤ Summary

GitHub Copilot has switched to a usage-based billing model, and users are reporting that their monthly credits disappear within hours. The new system charges against a token-based credit balance that resets each month, with different limits depending on the plan. GitHub says the change better aligns pricing with real usage and helps keep the service sustainable. The update also extends to corporate plans and adds GitHub Actions minutes to Copilot code review consumption. Coding and editing suggestions remain included at no extra cost.
