  1. 1Click your profile picture in the upper-right corner of any page on GitHub.com.
  2. 2Click 'Settings' from the dropdown menu.
  3. 3In the 'Access' section of the sidebar, click 'Billing & licensing' and then 'Licensing' (new platform) — or 'Plans and usage' on the original platform.

  5. 5Click 'Cancel subscription.'
  6. 6Select 'Cancel Copilot Pro', 'Cancel Copilot Pro+' or 'Cancel Copilot Max' to cancel your plan at the end of your current billing cycle.

Billed Through a Third Party?

  • If you have access to Copilot through an organization or enterprise, you cannot cancel the plan yourself; you can disable Copilot in your environment instead.
  • If you have free access as a verified student, teacher or maintainer of a popular open source project, you cannot cancel the plan; you can disable Copilot in your environment instead.
  • If you have a personal Pro, Pro+ or Max plan and are assigned a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise seat, your personal plan is canceled automatically and you receive a prorated refund for the rest of its current billing cycle.

Reactivating Your Account

  • You can subscribe to Copilot Pro, Copilot Pro+ or Copilot Max again at any time from the Copilot plans page.
  • After cancellation you are on Copilot Free, which includes 2000 code completions per month and an allowance of GitHub AI Credits.

Additional Notes

  • Copilot Free: free — 2000 code completions per month plus an allowance of GitHub AI Credits.
  • Copilot Pro: $10 USD per month.
  • Copilot Pro+: $39 USD per month.
  • Copilot Max: $100 USD per month.
  • Copilot Business: $19 USD per granted seat per month; Copilot Enterprise: $39 USD per granted seat per month.
  • Instead of canceling, you can downgrade to the plan level below your current plan from the 'Manage subscription' dropdown; the switch happens at the start of your next billing cycle.

Posting this for visibility, not to send a mob at anyone. I run a software engineering consultancy, and my team and I all carry our own personal GitHub Copilot subscriptions. That is intentional. We work across multiple client GitHub organizations, so we keep Copilot billing, premium requests, and a

Should I cancel my ChatGPT Plus subscription if I have free Perplexity Pro and GitHub Copilot Pro?

Hi, everyone. I’m thinking about canceling my ChatGPT Plus subscription (€20/month), which I’ve been using mainly for programming and solving doubts. Recently, I got free access to Perplexity Pro through Revolut and GitHub Copilot Pro as a student. Do you think these tools can fully replace ChatGPT

Is Anthropic favouring enterprise users? Should I cancel and just pay for v0 / Github Copilot?

It seems to me, ever since Github Copilot and v0 started using Claude and became mainstream, my own Claude Sonnet has significantly lower quality and many more limitations on output and outright not just doing anything useful. I wonder if I am the only one considering a cancellation on my Claude sub

Github Copilot subscription scammed me

I paid $39 USD for the top tier Copilot subscription over a week ago, then cancelled the subscription renewal (I don't like to be billed for loads of subscriptions on my accounts). My card was charged for the month up to October 21. But, after cancelling the next subscription renewal my account is i
