Let’s face it—canceling subscriptions like GitHub Copilot isn’t always as clear as we’d like it to be. If you’re here, you probably loved how Copilot helped with coding and productivity. I’ve personally used Copilot for months and appreciated its smart code suggestions, but even I found the cancellation process a bit murky at first. Don’t worry!
