There are two possible routes, and using the wrong one is why people cancel GitHub Copilot and still get charged. Check which applies to you first.
This is the step people skip. GitHub Copilot can be billed either by Apple (if you subscribed inside an iPhone or iPad app) or by GitHub Copilot directly (if you signed up on their website). Only the biller can cancel it.
To check: open Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. If GitHub Copilot appears there, Apple bills you — use route A. If it does not, use route B.
Go straight to the GitHub Copilot cancellation page →
Worth knowing: If your Copilot access comes from an organisation or an education/open-source waiver there is nothing to cancel — the billing page will show no personal subscription. Check whether you are being billed at all first.
Suggestions stop at the end of the billing period. Nothing in your repositories changes.
Always confirm it worked. Look for a cancellation email, and re-open the billing page to check the status reads cancelled or "ends on [date]". Then set a calendar reminder for the day after the period ends and check your card statement. A surprising number of cancellations do not take on the first attempt.
Most services have a cheaper tier that people never look at, and several offer a pause instead of a cancellation. If you use GitHub Copilot occasionally rather than never, a lower plan or a temporary pause usually beats cancelling and resubscribing at a higher price later.
Recurra keeps your remaining subscriptions in one place and reminds you before each renewal — so the next one does not catch you out. No bank login, no account.
