Subject: Copilot Pro+ – Model Access Changes and Increased Multipliers

Hello,

I recently upgraded my GitHub Copilot subscription from Pro to Pro+, and I need clarification on several unexpected changes that occurred immediately after upgrading.

1. Claude Opus model access changed without warning
   Before upgrading, I had access to Claude Opus 4.6.
   After upgrading, Opus 4.6 was removed entirely, and the replacement model now carries a 7.5× multiplier.

This is a significant increase in cost per request, and it was not communicated anywhere in the upgrade flow or documentation.

2. The upgrade did not restore the expected model access
   I upgraded specifically because Pro+ is advertised as including premium models.
   However, after upgrading:

The model I previously used (Opus 4.6) is gone

The replacement model is dramatically more expensive to use

The value of the upgrade feels lower than before

This feels like a downgrade disguised as an upgrade.

3. I need confirmation of what models Pro+ is supposed to include
   Please confirm:

Which Claude Opus models are currently available to Pro+ users

Whether Opus 4.6 was intentionally removed

Why the multiplier increased so sharply

Whether these changes are temporary or permanent

4. My billing situation
   I am already paying for multiple GitHub services (approx. $150/month), and I upgraded Copilot to Pro+ expecting improved access — not reduced access with higher multipliers.

I would appreciate a clear explanation of what changed and why.

Less value for money is not good for you customers and I can't suggest this service like I have before.

Thank you.
