GitHub Copilot Introduces Premium AI Model Limits and New Pricing Tiers

GitHub has announced changes to its Copilot AI coding assistant, introducing rate limits for "premium" AI models. Subscribers can continue unlimited use of the base model (OpenAI’s GPT-4o), but tasks involving advanced models like Anthropic’s 3.7 Sonnet are now capped. Starting May 5, Copilot Pro users receive 300 monthly premium requests, with options to purchase more at $0.04 each or upgrade to Copilot Pro+ ($39/month) for 1,500 premium requests and access to models like OpenAI’s GPT-4.5.
