Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual Plans

https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/changes-to-github-copilot-individual-plans/

Article

  • GitHub restructures Copilot tiers: Pro stays $10/mo, Pro+ jumps to $40/mo.
  • Opus 4.7 replaces Opus 4.6 in Pro+; premium request rates change significantly.
  • Free tier reduced; grandfathered users protected temporarily.
  • Quota limits added to Pro+ making it harder to fully utilize premium requests.

Discussion

  • Multiple users switching to direct Claude Pro ($20) as better value than Copilot Pro+.
  • Copilot Pro+ users angry: Opus 4.7 at 7x rate vs Opus 4.6 feels like a bait-and-switch.
  • Opus 4.7 in Copilot CLI reported to stop mid-task, forcing wasted extra prompts.
  • HN/Copilot overlap noted as small — most commenters already use Claude Code directly.
