Question 1

What is the GITHUB* charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

The GITHUB* charge is a subscription fee from GitHub, the popular code hosting and version control platform. It typically represents a GitHub Pro or GitHub Teams plan, which usually costs around $4.00 per month. These paid plans offer features beyond the free tier such as advanced collaboration tools, protected branches, and GitHub Actions minutes.

Question 2

I don't remember signing up for a paid GitHub plan — how do I check what I'm being billed for?

Accepted Answer

You can review your GitHub subscription details by logging into your GitHub account and visiting github.com/settings/billing. There you will see your current plan, the billing cycle, and a full breakdown of what you are being charged for. It is possible a GitHub Pro trial converted to a paid plan or a team owner added you to a paid organization.

Question 3

How do I cancel my GitHub subscription to stop the GITHUB* charge?

Accepted Answer

To cancel your GitHub Pro or Teams subscription and stop future GITHUB* charges, go to github.com/settings/billing while logged into your account. From there you can downgrade your plan to the free tier or cancel your subscription entirely. Make sure to do this before your next billing date to avoid being charged again, as the fee is typically $4.00 per billing cycle.

Question 4

Could the GITHUB* charge be fraudulent or a mistake?

Accepted Answer

In most cases the GITHUB* charge is a legitimate billing from GitHub for a Pro or Teams subscription at around $4.00. Before assuming it is fraudulent, log into your GitHub account at github.com/settings/billing to confirm whether you have an active paid subscription. If you find no active subscription there and do not recognize the charge, you should contact GitHub support directly and consider disputing the charge with your bank.
