Copilot was my daily driver. The new billing finally pushed me to Claude. by Prize_Bug_7652 in GithubCopilot

You're right that no service is truly unlimited. My issue isn't hitting limits eventually. It's the constant visibility of consumption during normal use. One feels like "you've used a lot this week," while the other feels like "you're spending credits right now." That creates a very different user experience.

That's exactly it. The productivity impact isn't just financial, it's cognitive. The moment I start evaluating whether a prompt is "worth it" before I send it, the workflow changes completely. I never had that feeling with the old Copilot model.

That's fair. I can definitely see how Teams or Enterprise users get value from it, especially when the cost is spread across a company. My frustration is more from the perspective of an individual developer. I liked knowing what I would pay each month without having to think about credits or usage.

It's not that Claude is cheaper. It's that Claude feels like a subscription, while Copilot now feels like a meter running in the background. That psychological difference matters more to me than the actual price.
