Quick answer

Go to GitHub Settings > Copilot > Manage subscription > Cancel subscription. Access lasts to the end of the paid period; uninstalling the extension does not cancel billing.

Most likely fix: Cancel an individual plan

How to fix it

  1. 1. Cancel an individual plan

    1. Click your profile picture > Settings
    2. In the GitHub Copilot section open Manage subscription
    3. Choose Cancel Copilot Pro/Pro+ (ends at the end of the billing cycle)

  2. 2. Cancel a trial

    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Organization seat

    1. Individuals cannot cancel org seats; the org owner removes the seat or cancels

  4. 4. Stop extra charges

    1. Set additional credit spending budget to $0 in billing settings and check for leftover metered usage
