So today is the day, today is when GitHub Copilot swaps to its new billing system. Watching the relevant subreddit suggests this might not be popular.
Some folk think it isn't the smartest move.
Some don't feel too friendly towards it any more.
It looks like some of those friendships have lasted a while.
Some saw the opportunity to create content out of the situation.
Some have figured out that the thing that costs money, costs money.
Someone used up half their monthly allowance on just 8 requests.
Although, of course, there's always someone who has to do it better.
To be fair though, at least one person loves the new system.
As for my subscription, which came about after I initially experimented with free access to the tool, I've not actually cancelled yet, but I can't see me making use of it much more. I might try a couple of prompts with it, along the lines of what I was doing while working on BlogMore, just to get a feel for how different the usage is now.
Meanwhile, though, I've found that I'm getting on a lot better with Antigravity and getting the bits done I want to do. I suspect this is how I'll keep tinkering with BlogMore, until Google come to their senses anyway.
