Cancel GitHub Copilot from your GitHub Settings under Billing & licensing, then Licensing: open Manage subscription and click Cancel subscription. It takes about a minute, and you keep your features until the billing cycle ends, then drop to Copilot Free. GitHub's Terms of Service make payments non-refundable, with no credits for partial months or unused time.
Opens github.com. We are not affiliated with GitHub Copilot and never handle your login.
GitHub's AI coding assistant with completions, chat and coding agents in your editor and on github.com. This guide covers every place the subscription can live - the website, the iPhone and iPad app, Google Play, and team plans - plus what happens to refunds, pausing and your data afterwards.
Use this if you pay GitHub directly for Copilot Pro, Pro+ or Max on your personal account.
In the upper-right corner of any GitHub page, click your profile picture, then click Settings.
It sits in the "Access" section of the sidebar. On the older billing platform the path is Billing and licensing, then Plans and usage.
In the "GitHub Copilot" section, open the Manage subscription dropdown and click Cancel subscription.
Select Cancel Copilot Pro (or Pro+ / Max). You keep your features until the billing cycle ends, then drop to Copilot Free automatically.
Use this if you bought Copilot inside the GitHub Mobile app on iOS.
GitHub's docs confirm Copilot can be bought as an iOS in-app purchase and say to cancel the mobile subscription - Apple bills those, so only Apple can stop them.
This lists everything billed through your Apple account.
If there is no Cancel button, or an expiration date shows in red text, the subscription is already cancelled.
GitHub documents that mobile purchases must be cancelled with Apple; the tap-by-tap steps here follow Apple's official guide, not GitHub's.
Use this if you bought Copilot inside the GitHub Mobile app on Android.
Uninstalling the GitHub app does not cancel the subscription.
Pick it from the list of active subscriptions.
Follow the instructions. You keep access for the time you have already paid.
GitHub documents that mobile purchases must be cancelled with Google; the steps here follow Google Play's official guide, not GitHub's.
Copilot Business is cancelled at the organization level by disabling Copilot; individual members cannot do this.
Click your profile picture, then Organizations, pick the organization and click Settings.
GitHub notes all Copilot policies must be configured before you can complete these steps.
Under "Copilot Business is active in your organization", select Disabled, then click Confirm and remove seats. This removes all assigned seats and cancels the organization's plan.
Tick a step to keep your place - nothing is stored. Tap a step to tick it off - nothing is stored.
Copilot Business costs $228 a year. Each saving compares that tool's entry plan with your selected plan - it is what stays in your account over the next twelve months. On a different GitHub Copilot plan? Pick it below.
Claude Claude Pro plan $20 / month Why this one - Claude Code included in Pro
Cursor Cursor Pro plan $20 / month Why this one - Full AI editor, not a plugin
Windsurf Windsurf Pro plan $20 / month Why this one - AI IDE with a free plan

GitHub's Terms of Service make payments non-refundable: no refunds or credits for partial months, downgrades or unused time. One documented exception: if an organization assigns you a Copilot Business or Enterprise seat, your personal Copilot plan is cancelled automatically and the remaining part of the billing cycle is refunded pro rata.
After cancelling you are downgraded to Copilot Free at the end of the billing cycle. Copilot Free gives limited access to a selection of features and models (auto model selection only); the pricing page lists 2,000 completions per month.
No pause option is documented. GitHub's plan-management docs describe only cancelling or changing plans.
Cancelling Copilot only removes the paid plan - your GitHub account, repositories and settings are untouched. Deleting the GitHub account itself is a separate action: GitHub's Terms of Service say your profile and repository content are deleted within 90 days, except content you contributed to other users' repositories or that others forked.
Yes. You keep your current features until the end of your billing cycle, then you are automatically downgraded to Copilot Free.
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.
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.
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.
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.
