Until yesterday I would have recommended VSCode + Copilot. They had the best pricing of any option. However the pricing was unsustainable and is therefor finished.

How's the ai autocomplete? It was unusable in November when I tried it last and went back to Cursor. Slow and when it finally did something it was just not good. Cursor is super fast and actually gives useful results. I just don't want to give my money to Elon, so I might cancel anyways.
Honestly couldn't tell you anymore; a year ago I was using AI autocomplete, but today AI is writing all code for me.
Seriously this is such a common response and it is such an annoying response. Yes I need an IDE. Yes I still find ai autocomplete to be useful. That's why I asked about alternatives for Cursor autocomplete.

I was planning to sign up to Copilot, since their pricing was per request not per token.
Has that changed now?
That structure hasn't changed, but they've recalibrated usage limits to be much worse and removed the useful, yet relatively cheap, Opus 4.5/4.6 models.
I wouldn't jump to that ship.
Opus 4.5 and 4.6 removed from all plans. 4.7 locked to medium reasoning with 7.5x request multiplier. Per token pricing starting next month.
But you can't actually sign up to Pro or Pro+; they disabled sign ups until the per token pricing starts.
