What GitHub Copilot Max credits buy
- $200/month in GitHub AI Credits ($100 base + $100 flex; flex allotments "may change over time"). 1 credit = $0.01.
- The FAQ says Max "includes $100/month in GitHub AI Credits"; the plans page shows $200 in total.
- Code completions and next edit suggestions don't use credits and stay unlimited on paid plans.
- Not confirmed: Credit-to-API price parity is not confirmed: GitHub says credits used "depends on the model you choose and the complexity of the task" and doesn't say they match API list prices.

Ranges use our reference mix: output 5–15% of tokens and cache reads 30–80% of the input side. API prices as of 18 Oct 2026 from the daily price index. We assume credits are spent at API list price. That parity is not confirmed by GitHub, so treat these as estimates, not what the credits are guaranteed to buy.
