I love how corpos can just change the rules at will.

Edit: New prices:

And if you look at the old pricing structure, some of the models are increasing by 27x

Of course it is... Funny though, bc nobody really uses it at work, so our pricing should theoretically go down... But I doubt it, MS will find a way to make it go up

Well, base prices stay the same. They seem to just be billing more per usage on top of that...

they are probably going to reskin copilot, or not even name it so people wont notice it.
