Why the multipliers then at all?
The multipliers are there only for current annual plan customers. After 2026 its all tokens.
I thought I was smart for buying the annual plan after I graduated and lost my student plan and then GitHub taking away my Copilot Pro I got for free for being a author of a popular OSS project. Turns out I'm being punished for making that year commitment to them. I like to think I'm only a moderate user of GHCP so this is just terrible for me. I'm honestly thinking about cancelling and switching to alternatives while also looking at investing in a local LLM setup.
So they're changing the product that people already paid an annual subscription for to the worse. That's asking for legal complaints.
