Premium request limits by plan
The enforcement creates tiered access to advanced AI capabilities. Customers with Copilot Pro will receive 300 monthly premium requests, while Copilot Business and Enterprise users will get 300 and 1,000 requests, respectively. GitHub will also offer a Pro+ plan at $39 per month, providing 1,500 premium requests and access to what the company describes as “the best models, like GPT-4.5.”
Each model consumes premium requests based on a multiplier system designed to reflect computational costs. GPT-4.5 has a 50x multiplier, meaning one interaction counts as 50 premium requests, while Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash uses only 0.25x. Users can still make unlimited requests using GitHub’s base model GPT-4o, though rate limiting applies during high demand.
For those exceeding monthly allowances, GitHub’s current billing system will require users to “set a spending limit in your billing settings” with “the default limit set to $0,” meaning additional requests are rejected unless explicitly authorized.
