    {
      "question": "Can I get a refund for unused time?",
      "answer": "No. GitHub's Terms of Service exclude refunds for partial months, downgrades or unused time. The one documented exception is being assigned a Copilot Business or Enterprise seat, which auto-cancels your personal plan with a prorated refund."
    },
    {
      "question": "Why can't I find a cancel option?",
      "answer": "If you have free Copilot access as a verified student, teacher or maintainer of a popular open-source project, there is nothing to cancel. If access comes through an organization, only that organization can remove it."
    },
    {
      "question": "I subscribed through the GitHub Mobile app. What now?",
      "answer": "Copilot Pro, Pro+ and Max can be bought as in-app purchases on iOS and Android. GitHub's docs say to cancel the mobile subscription with Apple or Google - GitHub cannot do it for you - and re-subscribe on github.com if you want the web-billing extras."
    },
    {
      "question": "How does an organization cancel Copilot Business?",
      "answer": "In the organization's settings under Billing & licensing → Licensing, set Copilot to Disabled and click Confirm and remove seats. That removes all seats and cancels the plan."
