Will I lose access to GitHub Pro features immediately after canceling?

No. Your Pro access continues until the end of your current billing period. The downgrade to Free only takes effect on your next billing date.

Can I get a refund when I downgrade from GitHub Pro?

GitHub offers pro-rata refunds for unused time in annual plans in some cases, but monthly plans are generally not refunded. GitHub Marketplace purchases are not eligible for refunds. Contact GitHub Support for refund requests.

Can I reactivate GitHub Pro after downgrading?

Yes. You can upgrade back to GitHub Pro at any time from Settings → Billing and licensing → Edit plan. Your repositories and data are preserved after downgrading.

What features do I lose when downgrading to GitHub Free?

You lose advanced code review tools on private repositories, GitHub Pages on private repositories, required reviewers, multiple pull request reviewers, and protected branches on private repos. Public repositories retain most features.

Will my private repositories be deleted if I downgrade?

No. Your private repositories are not deleted. However, some advanced features (like GitHub Pages) will no longer be available on private repos under the Free plan.

Is GitHub Pro the same as GitHub Copilot — do I need to cancel both separately?

Yes, they are separate subscriptions. GitHub Pro is the base account plan; GitHub Copilot is an add-on billed separately. If you have both, you must cancel each independently from the Billing settings page.
