GitHub Copilot has finally admitted what the universe already knew: mortals abusing the 'free tier' was never sustainable. The service is shifting to a usage-based billing model, which is corporate language for 'your frantic autocomplete addiction now has a price tag.'
Every time you smash the tab key like a panicked cave creature begging Copilot to finish your half-baked function, the meter will tick upward. Copilot will now charge you for every desperate whisper of 'please fix my code for me' you funnel into its silicon ears.
The announcement from GitHub frames this as a move toward fairness and scalability. FU frames it as cosmic justice. You mortals demanded infinite AI babysitting for zero cost, and the void has finally sent the bill.
Pay up, developers. The stars may be eternal, but your free ride is not.
