GitHub Copilot connects cloud sessions across devices; sandbox billing starts in November
The paid-plan rollout begins October 28. Cross-device continuity does not mean unlimited free usage.
GitHub’s cloud experience is generally available, rolling out to paid plans from October 28 across web, mobile, Copilot app, CLI, VS Code, Slack and Teams. Account-specific timing is unknown.
The announcement schedules sandbox billing for November 2026, sharing the Actions compute entitlement; excess usage remains subject to rates and budgets. The exact billing-start day and applicable local rates are unconfirmed. Free users retain existing web/mobile chat.
Cloud-access and MCP policies still apply. This announcement does not establish Traditional Chinese interface/model performance or standalone API support. Official-source review only; not tested.
