+## GitHub Copilot moves to usage based billing
+
+GitHub Copilot has moved to [usage-based billing](https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/github-copilot-is-moving-to-usage-based-billing/).
+
+Under the new model, each interaction consumes AI credits, which are calculated based on token (input, output, and cached) cost and on the model used. Complex interactions and more capable models consume more credits, while lightweight models and simpler tasks use fewer. Learn more about how you can [optimize your usage](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/guides/optimize-usage).
+
+### Updated Copilot status dashboard
+
+The Copilot status dashboard now reflects usage-based billing. You can view your AI credits consumption, so you can monitor your usage at a glance.
+

+
+### Model costs in the model picker
+
+The model picker now displays cost information to help you make informed model choices. Different models have different costs per token type, so choosing the right model for your task can help extend your usage.
+
+![Screenshot showing the model picker with cost information](images/1_122/update-model-picker.png)
+
+You can view all available models, their capabilities, context sizes, and billing details in the Language Models editor. Open it from the model picker by selecting ⚙️, or run the **Chat: Manage Language Models** command from the Command Palette.

+### 1M context window for Anthropic and OpenAI models
+
+VS Code now supports 1 million token context windows for compatible Anthropic and OpenAI models. This expanded context window enables you to work with significantly larger codebases and longer conversations without losing important context. The expanded context window is available when using supported models, such as Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5.

 ### Use BYOK without a GitHub sign in
 
 Previously, using your own language model API key in VS Code required signing in to GitHub. Now, [Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/language-models#_bring-your-own-language-model-key) works without signing in, so you can use chat, tools, and MCP servers in air-gapped or restricted environments where GitHub sign-in isn't possible. This also enables fully offline workflows with local models like Ollama.
