By
zorrn
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
GitHub is implementing significant changes to its Copilot Individual plans, including pausing new sign-ups, tightening usage limits, and adjusting model availability. These changes are driven by the increased compute demands from agentic workflows, where long-running, parallelized sessions consume far more resources than originally anticipated. The company aims to protect the experience for existing customers by ensuring reliable and predictable service, acknowledging that these changes are disruptive but necessary given the rapid expansion of Copilot's agentic capabilities.
