It was too good to be true. Microsoft had to implement additional 5 hour and week usage limits to cope with demand.
The problem was, for the entire history of copilot, there was literally no way to even check these usage limits. All usage counted towards these limits, even those with a 0x multiplier that didn’t consume premium requests.
It was so bad that many people couldn’t even use the premium requests they paid for the month. The only around it was to switch to auto model routing, which would tend to route to lower quality models.
Ahh, that’s not great. I’ve only ever used it for free since I get the $10/month plan for free as an open-source maintainer (https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-on-github/set-up-copilot/enable-copilot/set-up-for-teachers-and-os-maintainers) so I’ve never had to deal with the billing side.
The amount of value they used to provide with the $10 plan felt too good to be true.
