GitHub Copilot ends Opus 4.7 promo multiplier as AI Credits transition nears
GitHub
GitHub's promotional multiplier for Claude Opus 4.7 inside Copilot expired on April 30, 2026, with standard request pricing applying afterwards. Opus models were also removed from the Copilot Pro tier (remaining only on Pro+), and starting June 1, 2026 Copilot usage will draw from GitHub AI Credits as part of the move to a token/credit-based billing model after weekly operating costs nearly doubled in early 2026.
Why it matters
Reshapes the cost calculus for Copilot users who relied on Opus 4.7 at promotional rates, and signals the broader transition from flat-fee Copilot to metered AI Credits across the GitHub stack.
