The flex allotment will automatically apply when users exceed their base credits, adapting over time based on AI model pricing and efficiency improvements.", "body_md": "For more information, read the docs >\nGitHub Copilot individual plans: Introducing flex allotments in Pro and Pro+, and a new Max plan\nStarting June 1, our lineup of individual plans will update based on your feedback.\nWe’ve heard your questions about whether the included usage in each GitHub Copilot plan will go far enough when we transition to usage-based billing on June 1st. Longer agent runs, multi-step work, and more capable models will all put pressure on the usage amounts detailed in our original announcement.\nWe’re updating the individual lineup based on that feedback. Pro and Pro+ will include more total usage at the same price through a new flex allotment, and we’re introducing Max, a new plan for sustained, high-volume Copilot work.\nWhat’s included\nThe individual Copilot lineup will span Free, Pro, Pro+, and Max, with usage-based billing across all plans. Free will continue to include a limited number of code completions each month, plus limited chat and agent usage with auto mode.\nFor paid plans, monthly included usage comes in two parts:\n- Base credits: matched 1:1 with your subscription price. These never change.\n- Flex allotment: variable additional usage on top of your base. Flex allotments will vary over time.\nBelow are the individual plans as of June 1, 2026:\nHow it works\nYour base credits are used first. If you go beyond your base, the flex allotment is applied automatically at the same rates across your IDE, github.com, and the CLI. You don’t need to turn anything on or manage a separate bucket; your dashboard will show what’s available and what you’ve used. And if you use everything included in your plan, you can purchase more usage and keep going.\nCode completions and next edit suggestions remain unlimited on paid plans and don’t consume credits.\nWhy flex can change\nThe flex allotment is a variable part of your included usage; it is designed to adapt as the economics of AI evolve, including model pricing, new models, and improvements in efficiency. Your base credits, which are 1:1 to your subscription price, will always stay the same.\nWhat to do\nNothing. If you’re on a monthly Pro or Pro+ plan, the additional usage lands automatically on June 1 when you migrate to usage-based billing.\nWritten by\nRelated posts\nGitHub availability report: April 2026\nIn April, we experienced 10 incidents that resulted in degraded performance across GitHub services.\nWhy age assurance laws matter for developers\nYouth safety requirements are moving down the tech stack to operating systems and app stores—raising new questions for open source developers.\nHow researchers are using GitHub Innovation Graph data to reveal the “digital complexity” of nations\nResearchers share in an interview how they used GitHub data to predict GDP, inequality, and emissions in ways that traditional economic data misses, along with our Q4 2025 data release.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/github-copilot-individual-plans-introducing-flex-allotments-in-pro-and-pro-and-a", "canonical_source": "https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/github-copilot-individual-plans-introducing-flex-allotments-in-pro-and-pro-and-a-new-max-plan/", "published_at": "2026-05-12 17:35:41+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-18 05:19:44.059867+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": [], "entities": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/github-copilot-individual-plans-introducing-flex-allotments-in-pro-and-pro-and-a", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/github-copilot-individual-plans-introducing-flex-allotments-in-pro-and-pro-and-a.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/github-copilot-individual-plans-introducing-flex-allotments-in-pro-and-pro-and-a.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/github-copilot-individual-plans-introducing-flex-allotments-in-pro-and-pro-and-a.jsonld"}}
