GitHub Copilot Switched to Token-Based Billing Yesterday

Effective June 1, GitHub Copilot replaced flat Premium Request Units with token-consumption billing. Base subscription prices are unchanged (Pro: $10/mo, Business: $19/user/mo), but agentic workflows, reasoning model calls, and large-codebase refactors are now metered. Some developers are reporting 10x–50x cost increases; one team estimated their bill jumping from $29/mo to $750/mo. Inline completions and Next Edit Suggestions remain included. If your team runs heavy agentic sessions, audit your usage now before the first new bill arrives.
