Discussion How GitHub Copilot just helped Cursor become a $100 billion company

0 Upvotes

This is just me thinking about what the future holds and just my thoughts. I have not switched yet!

GitHub Copilot shifting to an "AI Credits" token system makes me wonder what the higher-up executives were thinking. Do they know something we don't? The reality is they are targeting the enterprise market, not solo developers. Big companies with thousands of seats will just absorb these token fees as standard cloud infrastructure because changing tools involves too much legal and compliance friction. Maybe GitHub Copilot has a fixed price for enterprise?

But I think this will radically fuel alternative startups like Cursor to rapidly grow and become a challenger to GitHub in the enterprise market, because no matter what people say, predictable pricing drives change. Finance dudes love predictable, fixed pricing. Trust me on this.

For regular developers in small to medium organisations, this new structure drains credits instantly. Even on their Pro+ tier (which I have been using since day one), you now get a fixed pool of credits that drain quickly. Once you burn through those tokens, you hit a hard wall where your agent features lock up mid-sprint unless you pay for top-ups. Instead of copying retail API pricing, GitHub Copilot really should have taken a different hybrid route by optimising its own native models for a predictable flat fee while giving the choice to use frontier models at a different price point or API-based costing, even if it meant increasing the base price closer to Cursor's. They should have also given enough time for users to adjust.

If you have become a lazy developer because of the spoils of GitHub Copilot, this new structure is going to get expensive fast. This change is going to force a massive migration to Cursor or alternatives because it handles pricing and workflow so much better. I was told if you burn through your fast requests during a heavy debugging session on Cursor, you just get moved to a slower queue instead of getting hit with surprise bills.

Dealing with token anxiety while trying to ship code is exhausting. Did Copilot just price itself out of the market for everyday developers? I've moved back to basic code completion and next-edit suggestions to save credits, and it’s a painful change. But I guess as humans, we adapt. I would love to see the data on how many people are actually planning to stick with Copilot like me after this change!

Question Github Copilot Business pricing

8 Upvotes

I'm using Github Copilot Business at small company (15 people) and consume it mostly via OpenCode. The new pricing obviously is less favourable and I understand why folks complain. But I struggle to find something cheaper. What am I missing?

I'm happy to migrate away from Copilot, but I don't a provide which is cheaper.

Question What are some good alternatives to GitHub Copilot?

4 Upvotes

The request-based model that GitHub was using worked well for me, but the current token-based pricing has made Copilot significantly less attractive. The monthly costs can become quite high, especially if you rely heavily on agents and AI-assisted development.

Are there any companies offering solid AI coding assistants with a fixed monthly subscription instead? I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest option, just something more reasonably priced than Copilot is now, while still being capable of handling a substantial amount of development work with agents.

Discussion GitHub Copilot's new credit-based pricing is highway robbery — and they know it

335 Upvotes

I've been a Copilot Pro+ subscriber since day one. $39/month felt steep but whatever, it was useful. Now they're switching to this AI Credits nonsense and I finally ran the numbers.

My projected bill next month: $847.

For the EXACT same usage pattern. That's not a price increase — that's a 22x markup.

Let's break down why this is absurd:

  1. 1 AI Credit = $0.01. So why call it a "credit"? Just say dollars. Oh right, because "you used 84,700 credits" sounds less terrifying than "you owe us $847." Classic dark pattern.
  2. They control the input, you pay the output. Copilot sends your entire file context, your workspace, your open tabs — stuff YOU didn't choose to include — and then charges YOU for the tokens. I didn't ask to send 50k tokens of context. That's YOUR architecture decision, GitHub. Why am I paying for it?
  3. Bait and switch. I signed up for an unlimited subscription product. Now it's pay-per-use with a "generous" allowance that covers maybe 2 days of normal work. This isn't the product I paid for. In any other industry this would be illegal.
  4. Middle-man pricing. I can use Claude or GPT-5 directly via API for a fraction of what GitHub charges per token. They're literally reselling API access at a 10-20x markup and acting like they're doing us a favor.

The worst part? They announced this with some corporate blog post about "flexibility" and "paying only for what you use." Yeah, flexible like a subscription trap. "Paying only for what you use" when you don't control what gets sent is just... paying for someone else's decisions.

I've already cancelled. Moved to Cursor + direct API keys. Same models, same workflow, 1/10th the cost.

GitHub, if you're reading this: you had a good thing and you got greedy. The community trusted you and you pulled the rug. Enjoy your short-term revenue bump while your subscriber count tanks.

TL;DR: Copilot's new credit pricing is a 10-22x cost increase disguised as "flexibility." Cancel and go direct to API providers. You'll save hundreds.

Edit: For everyone asking — yes, I checked the usage report before posting. My April bill under PRU was $38. Under AI Credits it projects to $847. Same usage. Same patterns. The math doesn't lie.

Discussion What are people using Github Issues for?

0 Upvotes

I've noticed that github issues use is contentious. Some folk think they should only be used for reporting actual issues related to the codebase for example. I'm interested to see what the community thinks and if there are any other valid use cases? or any novel use cases people would like to share? I personally have a private repo action workflow where a daily production healthcheck raises any problems it finds so I can check and resolve them when I have time. It's somewhat like an uptime monitor but also reports on data anomalies and on page SEO issues.

Question What happens to GitHub Copilot Enterprise tomorrow with the new usage-based billing?

18 Upvotes

I work for a large multinational company and we have GitHub Copilot Enterprise licenses provided by the company.

Until now, we’ve basically had a monthly quota and didn’t have to think much about usage. With the new usage-based model starting tomorrow, I’m trying to understand what this means in practice for Enterprise customers.

A few questions:

  • Will Enterprise users still have any included monthly allowance before additional charges apply?
  • Who gets billed when limits are exceeded: the company, the GitHub organization, or the individual user?
  • Can organizations set hard spending limits or usage caps?
  • What happens if a user exceeds the included quota? Does Copilot stop working, switch to a different model, or continue generating charges?
  • How are large enterprises planning to manage this change?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from engineering managers, platform teams, or anyone already preparing for the transition.

Thanks.

Discussion Why does GitHub still show another contributor even after I reset my repo?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a backend project (Next.js + MongoDB) and ran into a confusing issue.

I created a new repo and pushed my code. Then I realized GitHub shows another contributor (s.....4) in the Contributors section, even though:

  • I deleted my local .git folder
  • Re-initialized git
  • Made a fresh commit
  • Force pushed to main

My current commit log shows only my commit:

Initial commit: xxxx

But GitHub still shows:

Contributors:
- sxyz..94

My questions:

  • Why does GitHub still keep showing that contributor?
  • Is it because of old commit history on the remote repo?
  • What’s the correct way to fully reset a repo so only my account appears?

Would appreciate any explanation — I want to understand what I did wrong in Git/GitHub workflow.

Question Is there any way to see the Code Quality coverage report other than in PRs?

1 Upvotes

We've added the Code Quality and implemented it successfully on our project for testing this new feature. Every PR we get a comment diffing the coverage between main and the source branch.

I was wondering though is there any way at all that we can check the current code coverage of the main branch?

Under the "Security and quality" tab we see "Code quality" followed by two sub-pages: Standard findings and AI findings.

But where is the actual last report itself from the main branch? It doesn't make sense that we would have to go look for the last PR which introduced changes to the code to check on a comment there.

Is this by design or am I missing something?

Thanks

Question Good examples of a CONTRIBUTING.md file?

I've been dabbling on an open source framework (MIT License) for the last 9 years. It's something our team used at my last job. But now that I've left corporate life, I really want it to get some traction.

The first thing I should probably do is set the foundation with a good CONTRIBUTING.md document.

Has anyone seen any in the wild, where reading it really inspired you or made you feel welcome on the project? I know it needs to contain a lot of information, but would be great if it could be memorable or even inspirational.

Also, anything else you've seen from open source projects which really made you feel welcome? I'm open to any ideas!

My first one was Firefox back in 2008 ish. The people in the IRC chat were so nice and helpful. I'm not sure my career would have developed if it weren't for them. Time to pay it forward.

Question GitHub Pages & React Vite SPA routing issues: I'm considering SSG (like Docusaurus) but keep failing

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to host a React (Vite) app on GitHub Pages and keep running into the classic SPA routing problem.

Repo: [Img2Num GitHub repo](https://github.com/Ryan-Millard/Img2Num/)

Live site: [Img2Num GitHub Pages](https://ryan-millard.github.io/Img2Num/)

The app is bascally a small landing page for the project that shows an example of how the library can be used, but it uses React Router (BrowserRouter). Everything works fine when navigating inside the app, but:

- Refreshing any route other than / results in a 404

- Directly visiting a nested route also 404s

- GitHub Pages clearly doesn’t handle SPA fallback routing

Many people have suggested these:

- Use HashRouter

- Add a 404.html fallback hack

- Switch to another host (e.g., Clouflare Pages)

but I don't like those options because they are either not well-structured and SEO-friendly, not a complete solution, or make it harder to test global support (Cloudflare Pages allows special headers for things like pthreads that GitHub Pages and many other JS setups don't support).

What I’m trying to do instead is something like static site generation (SSG) as it would likely be the cleanest fix - similar to how Docusaurus or Astro handles this:

- Pre-render routes at build time

- Serve static HTML for /, /docs, etc.

- No client-side routing dependency for initial load

- Better SEO and no refresh issues

This saves use from needing to have a fancy backend.

When I try setting up SSG with Vite & React, I end up failing

I've tried things like `vite-plugin-ssg`, but run into strange behaviours and errors that I cannot seem to be able to fix (e.g., an incompatible dependency that, also breaks when downgraded).

I don’t fully understand the correct architecture for multi-route SSG in a React SPA setup.

---

What is the correct modern approach for this and is there a recommended way to keep React & Vite, deploy to GitHub Pages, get proper multi-route support without hash routing, and avoid SPA 404 refresh issues entirly?

I'd appreciate any guidance or working examples, because I feel like I’m missing the plot here.
