Overview
- GitHub, which announced the change Monday, will replace premium request units with GitHub AI Credits priced by token use across all plans starting June 1.
- Plan prices stay the same and each tier includes monthly credits equal to its dollar price, with core code completions and Next Edit suggestions not consuming credits.
- Fallbacks to lower‑cost models go away, and Copilot code review also draws down GitHub Actions minutes in addition to AI Credits.
- Business and Enterprise customers get pooled credits and new budget controls, plus temporary promotional credits in June, July, and August to smooth the transition.
- A bill preview arrives in early May to project costs, and annual subscribers stay on the old request system until renewal as GitHub keeps temporary sign‑up and usage caps in place until the switch.
