I pay for Copilot annually, and mostly for its code auto completion features. I use CC if I want to do anything agentic. Not sure if I want to pay more for occasionally-good-intellisense at this point.

Same! I wonder what other alternatives there might be for autocomplete.
autocomplete is still unlimited within the subscription, maybe using a free model or even cheaper ones are best value..
If you find out, please let me know!
Code completions and Next Edit Suggestions remain free with Copilot Pro.
But you can no longer amortize annually, which makes it even more a question of "is this worth it this month?" each month. Especially for personal accounts.
I'm similarly thinking about sticking with the auto-downgrade back to Copilot Free when the annual sub ends and then just yelling about it any months I hit the 2000 completion cap.

I wouldn't mind a plan between Free and Pro that is just "all I care about is code completion and next edit suggestions".
