GitHub Copilot Pauses All Individual Signups; Leaked Internal Plan Shows June Token-Based Billing

The Register·high signal

GitHub paused new signups for Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Student plans on April 20 after weekly operating costs doubled since January. Leaked internal documents reveal a June 1 migration to token-based billing: Business at $19/mo + $30 pooled credits, Enterprise at $39/mo + $70 credits. Opus models removed from Pro tier entirely. A modest 50K-token agentic session on Opus 4.7 costs ~$1.50, meaning the $30 credit budget covers roughly 20 sessions — a dramatic shift from unlimited flat-rate.
