When can we expect Claude Sonnet 5 to Pro+ customers on annual subscription?

As per announcement a few hours ago, https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-30-claude-sonnet-5-is-generally-available-for-github-copilot/, it looks like we are eligible for the model, but i cannot see an updated price in https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/request-based-billing-legacy/model-multipliers-for-annual-plans.

It look to be cheaper than current 4.6, so i hope for a multiplier on maybe 6x?

Come on Microsoft - why are you doing this?
If you don't want to support Pro+ (legacy) - then make it abundantly clear instead of this cat-after-mouse chasing!

When you released your own AI - the statement was the same: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-02-mai-code-1-flash-is-now-available-for-github-copilot/

And this included Pro+ (legacy).
