Copilot in GitHub

Body

My Standard Pro plan (non-student Pack) is currently unable to use features related to the Opus model. It was working fine until a few days ago, but now I suddenly cannot select it, and I’m being prompted to upgrade my plan.

I have same issue, just upgraded and it shows need to upgrade to pro to use opus 4.6. on 2026-04-16, my prevous trial not end yet but can not use any model. I upgraded to pro on 2026-04-19, can use all models for 2 days, till today. The option for opus 4.6 is grayed out. The accout usage shows used 87.3% of premium requests. It also shows "Allowance resets May 1, 2026 at 8:00 AM.". Current metered usage is
$10.47, Gross metered usage for April 1 - April 29, 2026. Maybe it is your billing method issue, but unfair to me: J sunscribed on 4-19 but you cut my usage on 4-21, waiting for 5-1 to restart.
