Hey @Manya-kh10

We have provided more details about changes to Copilot Individual Plans in this discussion, which may be updated if new information becomes available.

From the FAQ:

10. I'm newly eligible for Copilot Student but have never activated it. Can I sign up now?
    At this time, new activations of Copilot Student, Pro, and Pro+ are paused.

Your GitHub Education verification is active and has not been removed. The pause affects the ability to activate Copilot Student or a Copilot paid plan. When signups resume, you will be able to activate the Education benefit if you are still eligible. In the meantime, Copilot Free remains available for signups.

We do not have an estimated timeframe to share yet for when the pause will end. Updates will be posted in the linked discussion posts.

To keep conversations all in one place and to ensure you receive timely updates, we’ll be closing this post and recommend you subscribe to the discussion linked above.
