What is the GitHub charge?

A charge on your bank statement from 'GITHUB' typically indicates a payment for services related to a GitHub account. Because GitHub offers various tools, these charges can stem from several different sources.

Common reasons include recurring fees for plans like GitHub Pro, Team, or Enterprise, or monthly charges for GitHub Copilot (AI-powered coding assistance).

Metered Usage and Authorization Holds

You may see charges for using resources beyond your plan's included quota, such as GitHub Actions, Codespaces, or additional storage.

Sometimes, you may see a temporary 'pending' charge (often $1). This is a pre-authorization hold to verify your card and will typically disappear within a few business days.

  1. Step 1 Log in to your GitHub account and review to Settings > Billing and licensing > Overview to view your active plans and payment history.
  2. Step 2 If you cannot identify the charge, visit the official GitHub Support page and request to speak with Billing Support, providing the transaction ID.

Should I file a chargeback with my bank?

It is generally recommended to resolve issues directly with GitHub first. Filing a chargeback can sometimes lead to your GitHub account being frozen or restricted.

Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention

If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.

Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.

What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?

First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.

How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?

Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
