Hi there,
GitHub Copilot's billing model changes on June 1, and if you're on a personal Pro or Pro+ account, the changes are more layered than the headlines suggest. New sign-ups are paused, model access is tiered by plan, unused credits expire monthly, and there's a "flex allotment" baked into your plan that GitHub can lower whenever it likes. This is a practical breakdown of every policy change and what individual developers should actually do before June 1 arrives.

GitHub Copilot's Metered Billing Starts June 1: Every Policy Change Decoded for Individual Developers
- Premium Request Units (PRUs) are gone — replaced by GitHub AI Credits at $0.01 per credit, billed by token consumption per model
- Free → Pro (15) → Pro + (70) → Max ($200) new monthly credit ladder, with "flex" portion GitHub can adjust at any time
- Annual plan subscribers face increased model multipliers on June 1 while still on PRU billing — then drop to Free when the annual plan expires
- Code completions and Next Edit suggestions remain unlimited and don't consume credits; everything else (chat, agents, code review) does
- Copilot code review now burns both AI Credits AND GitHub Actions minutes — a second hidden meter most devs haven't noticed
- Seven practical steps every individual developer should take before June 1 to avoid surprise charges
