2026-06-01 PRICE HIKE

GitHub Copilot Moved from flat monthly premium-request allotments to usage-based 'AI Credits' billing tied to token consumption; developer reports describe agentic-workflow bills rising 10x-50x for heavy users Premium requests: 300/month (Pro), 1,500/month (Pro+), overage at $0.04/request → AI Credits (1 credit = $0.01) consumed by token usage; Pro includes 1,500 credits/mo, Pro+ 7,000/mo, Max 20,000/mo; code completions remain unlimited and uncharged Source ↗

2025-06-16 PRICE HIKE

Cursor Replaced the Pro plan's 500-fast-request monthly allotment with a $20/month API-rate usage-credit pool; poor communication triggered user backlash and unexpected overage charges 500 fast requests/month (Sonnet models cost 2 requests), unlimited slower requests after → $20/month of included frontier-model usage billed at API rates, plus unlimited Auto model usage Source ↗
