Cancellation FAQs
What is the fastest way to cancel Github Copilot?
Start with the cancellation link above. Follow this order: 1) Open Billing & licensing; 2) Find GitHub Copilot; 3) Cancel the subscription; 4) Record the downgrade date. Do not leave after merely submitting a request; continue until you can see an effective date or receive confirmation.
What should I prepare before cancelling Github Copilot?
Have the account holder’s name, account number, billing email or service address, and requested end date ready. Check the company name on your statement so you use the correct billing route. A plan supplied by an organization or enterprise cannot be cancelled from personal billing. Disabling Copilot in an editor does not cancel a paid plan.
When should I cancel Github Copilot, and when will billing stop?
Timing rule: Cancel before the next billing-cycle start. Billing outcome: The paid plan ends at the current billing-cycle end and downgrades to Copilot Free. Act before the stated cutoff, save the displayed end date, and check the next statement rather than assuming the request stopped an already scheduled charge.
Will Github Copilot charge a fee or give me a refund?
Cancellation fee or remaining balance: No cancellation fee is stated. Refund rule: Standard cancellation does not promise a prorated refund. GitHub documents specific credits or refunds in some plan-transition and organization-assignment cases. Ask the company to state the final charge and refund separately in writing; cancellation alone does not automatically create a refund.
How do I prove that I cancelled Github Copilot?
Keep copilot plan screen, cancellation confirmation, billing-cycle end, pending change status. Save copies outside the company’s app or account in case access disappears. Your proof should show the request date, effective date, affected service, and confirmation or reference number.
What should I do if Github Copilot keeps charging me?
First compare the charge date with the saved effective date. Contact Github Copilot using the link or contact details above and send one clear timeline: cancellation request, confirmation, promised end date, and new charge. Ask for written correction and a refund. If the company does not resolve it, promptly give the same evidence to your payment provider and ask about its dispute deadline.
