GitHub Copilot adopts usage-based pricing

GitHub Copilot is transitioning to a usage-based pricing model starting June 1. This new system means users will be billed based on their consumption of the AI coding assistant. If a user exhausts their allocated credits, access to the service will be suspended until more credits are purchased or a new billing cycle begins. GitHub intends to offer a preview of this revised billing structure in early May, allowing users to familiarize themselves with the changes before the official implementation.
