Despite never using the tool after a brief 15-minute test, he receives monthly renewal emails and cannot find any way to cancel the subscription in GitHub settings. GitHub support has also been unhelpful in resolving the issue. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

I paid for Pro+, but I couldn’t access it. I open ticket for this, then Github Support told me that new registrations after April 20 are no longer accepted, so my subscription was never activated. I ended up paying $39 and got absolutely nothing in return. I renewed through iOS, but my refund request was rejected too! Which means Github rejected my refund request (TWICE). **@elvismilans** · 3 upvotes > you need to wait until the end of the month **@henbomb** · 2 upvotes > its a scam. switch to google antigravity. **@teguhwin8** · 2 upvotes > In my country, you can get Github Copilot Pro for just $3/month.
