where does it say that? its not available to me (also annual) at the moment via cloud but it said it is rolling out gradually, so I'm not too concerned. Tho I'm not overly excited either given Copilot pricing now; I reckon this should be at most 1x.

They say it here: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing...

But then again they released MAI despite this, so I don't know.
