Current multipliers vs from June

  Opus 4.6  3x -> 27x
  Opus 4.7  3x -> 27x
  GPT  5.4  1x ->  6x

EDIT: only applies to annual plans

I think that only applies to held-over users on the annual plan:

> Users on annual Pro or Pro+ plans will remain on their existing plan with premium request-based pricing until their plan expires, however, model multipliers will increase on June 1 (see table).

Kind of. Monthly users moving to an entire different pricing model so we don't really know what the increase in price will be for them.

There will surely be corresponding, different AI credit costs for each model.

		"AI credits" are just US cents. The cost per model is here - and it looks like it is just the API providers API cost: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing...

Thanks this is helpful. I am on my first month of annual Pro. Should I keep it or cancel it (ask for a refund)?

It isn't just the big multiplier increase, they also say "...and no new models or features will be added to annual plans going forward."

Can you imagine ten months from now and you're still rolling Sonnet 4.6?

Cancel/refund is looking pretty good. They're doing refunds until May 20.

"To request a refund, go to Settings → Billing and licensing → Licensing, select Manage subscription, then choose Cancel and refund "subscription". (The phrasing varies slightly depending on your subscription ). This option will be available until May 20."

		Appreciate the info. Have you got a similar opinion of the 'convert to monthly' option they've also provided?

Not apples for apples.

Before:

- Opus 4.6 each premium request is 3 premium requests

After:

- Opus 4.6 each dollar spent is 27 dollars in copilot AI Credits.

Given that you'll receive 19 dollars of AI Credits in Business plan, that means you can probably say 1 "hi" to opus per month.

It is an apples for apples comparison since those new multipliers only count if you are on an annual plan in which case the premium request system stays in place until you either cancel and get a refund or until your renewal comes up. https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/billing/usage-ba...

If you are not on an annual plan, multipliers will be gone completely. You can see the rates that apply instead here: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing...

		Thanks for that link. Oddly the blog post didn't contain any of this information.

		Based on the pricing and comparing to competitors e.g. bedrock[1] looks like cache-write will only be on 5 minute TTL. [1]: https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/

GPT 5.4mini is even worse, from 0.33x to 6x which is ~18 times more expensive now.

GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.4 mini are now the same price, which, why?

▲

Those multipliers will only apply if you are currently on an annual subscription (and only until your renewal comes up or you cancel). So I assume they simply want to make it as unattractive as possible to get most people to cancel it and move to the token based system.

That's not an answer. It's specifically a discrepancy between 5.4 and 5.4-mini. If you look at all other models/generations you see that the cheaper model indeed has a lower multiplier. It's very strange that only 5.4 doesn't have this.

		both 5.4 were best bang (-mini even more as I found it usually same well performing!!!) for the buck before. Now they face cost reality it seems.

GPT 4.1 had a multiplier of 0.
