How to cancel GitHub (Pro / Copilot)
GitHub has two separate consumer subscriptions — GitHub Pro and GitHub Copilot — and each cancels from its own page in billing settings.
Quick answer
github.com/settings/billing — log in and follow the steps below. Cancelling takes about five minutes.
Step-by-step
- Go to github.com → profile photo → Settings → Billing and plans.
- For Pro: under Plans, click Downgrade to Free.
- For Copilot: open the Copilot section and click Cancel subscription (or disable auto-renew).
- Confirm each one separately.
What happens after you cancel
Paid features last until the period ends. Private repos and your code are untouched on the Free plan.
Worth knowing
- Organization billing is separate — if your charge says 'GitHub' but you don't have Pro, check whether you own a paid org under Your organizations.
What the charge looks like
GitHub (Pro / Copilot) typically bills $3–$50 per month, and its renewal emails come from github.com. BeforeItBills detects those emails automatically and warns you 7 days before each charge — so the next renewal never sneaks past you.
Stop finding out after the charge.
