Will my code be affected if I cancel?

Can I use the free tier?

GitHub offers Copilot Free with limited completions. You automatically fall back to this after cancelling.

What about organization-managed Copilot?

If your organization pays for Copilot, you cannot cancel individually. Contact your org admin.
