In order to most-to-least charitable, any of:

1. Github could choose to grandfather in those plans and make no changes until those plans expire.

2. Github could offer, or the user could request, a pro-rated refund along with cancellation of the account.

3. Tough luck, those users agreed that Github could unilaterally change the ToS at any time.

They explicitly stated that they won't be doing that: the multipliers go into effect in June for everyone, annual plan or not.

Right now there is a cancel and refund button on the Github Copilot annual subscription setting, which I have just pressed.
