    "summary": "Announced May 12, 2026 and effective June 1, 2026: Pro and Pro+ include more total usage at the same price through a variable flex allotment on top of base credits, and a new Max plan was added at $100 a month.",
    "before": "As first announced in GitHub's usage-based billing post: Pro $10 a month including $10 in monthly AI Credits; Pro+ $39 including $39; no Max plan.",
    "after": "Pro $10 with $15 of included usage ($10 base + $5 flex); Pro+ $39 with $70 ($39 + $31); new Max $100 with $200 ($100 + $100). In credits: 1,500, 7,000 and 20,000 a month.",
    "baseline_note": "The included AI Credits in GitHub's first usage-based billing announcement, which equaled the plan price. Base credits stay matched 1:1 with the price. GitHub says “Flex allotments will vary over time”, so later flex changes will be logged as their own entries.",
