When I first subscribed to GitHub Copilot Pro, I remember having a much more generous premium model allowance. Today it's 300 premium requests/month, and different models consume different amounts, so the effective usage is even lower.
I understand the economics of AI inference and why providers need to change pricing over time. My question isn't whether AI is expensive to run.
What I'm wondering is: Is it fair to significantly reduce the value of an existing subscription after people have already signed up? It feels like the product I subscribed to has gradually become more restrictive.
Also, what are people doing now? Are you sticking with Copilot, upgrading, switching to Cursor/Claude/ChatGPT, relying more on local models, or just becoming more selective about which models you use?
Curious to hear how others think about this.
