pick-your-autocompletion VS copilot

Or mine for IntelliJ (hope you don't mind self promotion) https://github.com/Tomislaw/pick-your-autocompletion

https://github.com/Tomislaw/pick-your-autocompletion (needs restart after first install)

I had the message: "Thank you for participating in the GitHub Copilot Technical Preview. Your extended access has ended." on https://github.com/settings/copilot, even though billing says "You are eligible to use GitHub Copilot for free".

That feature already exists, you can turn it on here:

https://github.com/settings/copilot

They will not retrothing ask for money. If you entered your CC details you better check it though https://github.com/settings/copilot

To enable GitHub Copilot, navigate to https://github.com/settings/copilot. This should bring you to a page with a button that prompts you to enable GitHub Copilot. Please note that you have free access to GitHub Copilot if you're a student.

To avoid license issues, we can opt out of Suggestions matching public code by selecting Block at https://github.com/settings/copilot then pressing Save.

You can disable from here: https://github.com/settings/copilot

FWIW, there are some (admittedly fairly naive) checks to prevent PII and other sensitive info from being suggested to users. Copilot looks for things like ssh keys, social security numbers, email addresses, etc, and removes them from the suggestions that get sent down to the client.

There's also a setting at https://github.com/settings/copilot (link only works if you've signed up for copilot) that will check any suggestion on the server against hashes of the training set, and block anything that exactly duplicates code in the training set (with a minimum length, so very common code doesn't get completely blocked). Users must choose the value for this setting when they sign up for copilot.

source: I work on copilot at github

I went here was able to do so: https://github.com/settings/copilot

I'm also late to this article, so maybe this was a bug that was fixed.

the URL is broken, it should be https://github.com/settings/copilot

Copilot steals your personal code. No, it does not. While copilot may use your code as Training data, you can also easily uncheck this option if you are really concerned (https://github.com/settings/copilot)
