I think Copilot is finally over for me. I’ve been a VS Code + Copilot user for a long time, and I genuinely liked it. The IDE integration was excellent, the workflow felt natural, and for a while it became a core part of how I worked. But after the move to usage-based billing, something changed for me. The biggest issue isn’t even the cost itself. It’s the feeling. I find myself thinking about credits, quotas, context size, and whether a task is “worth” sending to the model. That constant awareness completely changes the experience. As someone who frequently works on large projects, repository-wide analysis, architecture discussions, agent workflows, and big refactors, the new model makes me feel like I’m being charged for using the product the way it was originally marketed. Over the last few days I’ve started testing Claude Pro seriously, and honestly it feels much closer to the experience I originally wanted from an AI coding assistant. I can focus on the problem instead of constantly monitoring consumption. So I’ve decided to cancel my Copilot Max subscription and gradually move my workflow toward Claude. I’m not saying Copilot is a bad product. The inline completions and VS Code integration are still excellent. But for my use case, it no longer feels like a tool that encourages exploration and experimentation. Curious if anyone else has reached the same conclusion, or if you’ve found a workflow that still makes Copilot worth keeping after the billing changes. submitted by /u/Prize_Bug_7652
