Quick Facts
Watch Out
GitHub now offers a free Copilot tier with limited completions (2,000/month) and chat messages (50/month). You may not need the paid plan.
If your employer provides Copilot through a GitHub Enterprise or Business plan, you can't cancel individually — your admin manages it.
The free trial auto-converts to paid. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid charges.
Copilot Pro+ ($39/month) exists for power users. Make sure you know which plan you're on.
What Happens After You Cancel
Access
You keep Copilot access until the end of your billing period, then revert to the free tier with limited completions.
Your data
No data is stored by Copilot — it's a real-time AI coding assistant. Your code and repositories are unaffected. IDE extensions remain installed but stop providing premium suggestions.
