Today, June 1, 2026, GitHub Copilot switches from flat-rate subscriptions to usage-based token billing. Every plan. Every user. Every organisation. The era of unlimited AI coding at a fixed price is over. Developers who use Copilot heavily for agentic tasks face bills that could be significantly higher than their previous flat-rate subscription.

But sales is growing because demand is growing. The one skill AI cannot replicate: the human ability to close a deal. gafam.ai examines what the Salesforce data reveals about the real shape of AI’s employment impact — and what it means for Europe’s workforce.
