I used to use GitHub Copilot with my student developer pack. I renewed my license a few days ago and Copilot stopped working and when I try to reactivate it in my settings it says I have to pay.

Did they remove copilot access from the student dev pack benefits?

Depending on your ide of choice, I'd also recommend Codeium (with an "e" - Codium is something else) as an alternative. If you sign up during their currently ongoing EA phase, you can get a free lifetime account.

I've used both and I haven't noticed any major difference in the quality of results. If there is a difference at all, I've personally had better generations from Codeium, but the overall difference is slight.

(For comparison's sake, this was with Python and Ruby so far.)
