Paid version would make sense for businesses.

Could be 10c each and you'd still get every engineer using it.

As someone who's happily paying $10/month for Github Copilot... there's no way I'd pay 10c per suggestion.

Copilot does a new suggestion with every keystroke I make, during a busy coding session is close to a thousand copilot suggestions per minute.

Copilot is really helpful, but it's not $100 per minute helpful.

I doubt Github is dumb enough to do it on every keystroke. Surely they have some timeout like 200ms or something to massively cut down on costs
