Copilot in GitHub

Body

When can we expect Claude Fable 5 to Pro+ customers on annual subscription?

As per announcement a few days ago, https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/request-based-billing-legacy/model-multipliers-for-annual-plans, it looks like we are eligible for the model, but i cannot see an updated price in https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/request-based-billing-legacy/model-multipliers-for-annual-plans.

Thanks.

Hey There.

From what I can tell, Claude Fable 5 is already available in Copilot, but GitHub is billing it through the newer usage-based billing model rather than the legacy model multiplier system. That may be why no multiplier has been published for annual plans yet.

I haven't seen any official ETA for legacy annual-plan support, so GitHub staff may need to clarify whether Fable 5 will receive a multiplier or remain usage-based only.

I would be very surprised if GitHub decided to take this route - but '26 is a crazy year, so maybe you are right. Then they should just be more precise in the announcement and exclude annual users when mentioning subscription tiers.

Youtube channel of VSCode says it is available as of now to general public, but on my Pro+ I do not see it, even my setting for "Configure access to AI agent" is missing. not sure what is going on.

The missing settings toggle and multipliers on Pro+ tiers line up exactly with the sudden export control directive that forced providers to pull the Fable 5 string over the weekend. Since native IDE platforms rely on centralized hooks, they lose access instantly when regulatory overrides hit. To avoid freezing mid-project, are you moving toward modular desktop workspaces where you can natively route alternative proxies and swap endpoints independently?
