Changing the duration of your billing cycle

You can pay for your account's subscription and other paid features and products on a monthly or yearly billing cycle.

When you change your billing cycle's duration, your GitHub subscription, along with any other paid features and products, will be moved to your new billing cycle on your next billing date.

Note: Certain products, such as GitHub Copilot Business and GitHub Copilot Enterprise, GitHub Actions, and GitHub Packages, only offer monthly billing.
