This is about personal plans. Github Copilot is half the price of any competition I found.
It's just a decent deal for light users.
Over the past month, I started a GHCP ~$12 Pro sub, and found I hit my quota about half way through March or so (but I also wasn't being very...frugal). So I signed up for Claude (~$20 Pro) for a month, and I liked it at first, but the 5 hour window was very annoying, and I hit it quite a bit. The first ~week of April was nice though, and I could use Claude to the limit, and then switch to GHCP. I've sym-linked my instructions so it was more or less easy switching back and forth when I hit a limit.
However, Claude changed their limits so I got to 100% very easily, and when I did hit 100%, I couldn't be given a "window" of snapshoting my work into something for another agent (either future claude window or GHCP agent) to easily pick up mid-work.
I found the lack of visibility into what costs what was very annoying. For $20/month, you get an arbitrary amount of usage that they were changing without notice or alerts or visuals. I didn't renew CC after it expired and just kept with GHCP.
Even with this announcement from GHCP, I haven't run into a limit. I'm considering upgrading to Pro+ if I don't see a limit.
But I stick with Sonnet more or less in both environments. I only used Opus for a couple of planning sessions at the very beginning, but JIT planning is done good enough by the more mid-tier models.
