Tighter usage limits on individual plans\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>GitHub is also tightening usage limits for individual plans. The company says those limits are now shown in \u003Ca href=\"\u002Ftag\u002Fvs-code\">VS Code\u003C\u002Fa> and Copilot CLI, which should make it easier to see where you stand before you hit a cap.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For users who rely on Copilot every day, this is the practical part of the change. You can still use the product, but the new rules make it more important to watch consumption and know when a reset is coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Usage limits are now visible in VS Code\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Usage limits are now visible in Copilot CLI\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>More transparent rate-limit tracking is planned\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ch2>3.

Refunds and plan changes are time-sensitive\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>If the new rules do not work for you, GitHub says you can cancel Pro or Pro+ and receive a refund for the unused time left on your current subscription.

If you run into caps often, Pro+ is the obvious fit, since GitHub says it offers more than 5X the Pro limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you are new to Copilot, the main choice is simpler: Copilot Free is still open, while paid individual sign-ups are paused. If you already pay and the changes do not fit your workflow, GitHub’s refund window and cancellation path are the main exit options.\u003C\u002Fp>","5 Copilot plan changes explain sign-up pauses,
