Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual plans

GitHub Copilot changed its pricing and usage limits for individual users because agentic workflows (AI agents that run long tasks automatically) consume far more computing resources than expected, with some users burning tokens (units of text processed by the AI) at much higher rates than before. The changes include pausing new individual plan signups, moving the most advanced Claude Opus 4.7 model to a more expensive $39/month tier, and switching to token-based usage limits tracked per session and per week instead of per-request charging.
