GitHub takes money for subscription renewals, but instead of PRO, it gives you FREE

Body

The story is like this and it's interesting. I paid for my first subscription to GitHub Copilot Pro, but it ended, and I decided to pay again later, but my card was unlinked and didn't get re-linked. I read an article saying that new registrations are not allowed, but the old ones still work. So I decided to pay through Google Market. What do you think? I was able to pay, and my money was deducted, but I was charged for a free subscription instead of a paid one.

And no one wants to return the money, so GitHub has switched to a policy of deception? Just how can you take money for PRO and give it away for free?

Hi there,

We've recently announced the following changes to GitHub Copilot’s Individual plans to protect the experience for existing customers: pausing new sign-ups, tightening usage limits, and adjusting model availability. Please visit the GitHub Blog: Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual Plans for more details.

If you’ve purchased Copilot after sign-ups were paused on April 20, 2026 either through Apple or Google Play, please reach out to them directly for a refund.

As no other Community Discussions team members will be able to provide additional help, I am going to close this discussion. We appreciate your understanding.

The most interesting thing is that I contacted them, and they said they couldn't. You're dealing with this issue
