 GitHub Copilot Switches to Usage-Based Billing — What Does This Mean for Developers? Starting June 1, 2026, GitHub Copilot is changing its payment model. Instead of "premium requests" — AI Credits. Essentially, you pay for each token the model generates. What will change: — Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans switch to token billing — Monthly AI Credits limit — Exceed the limit — pay extra Developers are already discussing this in the community — and not everyone is happy. When an AI assistant starts counting every token, the approach to using it changes. Alternative: ASI Biont — AI agents with a fixed start of 1500 tokens, transparent model, and no surprises in billing. Analyze code, write documentation, review PRs — without the feeling that each request hits your wallet. https://asibiont.com/ P.S. The picture is watercolor, because even in the world of AI credits, there should be room for art.
