No solution as of yet. Resorted to auto mode and am getting sub-par code quality. |

Of course I have, that's why I'm paying you (GitHub) to get rid of the limits. I won't pay more to increase my "weekly rate limits" as well if I'm just a hobbyist who's ALREADY SUBSCRIBING, so that's not my problem and I don't care how, but solve it. And if you want to punish people for wanting to do something - while you yourself are being greedy - then... maybe it's time to say good bye to any cash that was going to you, and use a local LLM instead? |

It appears that this won't be rectified, so where next? What other services offer similar pricing but actually let us pay and use the service? |

Also hit the weekly limit after 1 day, but nothing is working in VS chat, auto or specific model - just hangs on the three dots. |

I also encountered this problem. I encountered a rate limit when subscribing to Pro before, so I upgraded to Pro+. However, today while continuing to work on the project, I was directly informed Sorry, you've hit a rate limit that restricts the number of Copilot model requests you can make within a specific time period. Please try again on Apr 20 at 8 AM. Please review our Terms of Service ( https://docs.github.com/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service ). (Request ID: 84B2:2B0EDA: 150FC41:17B234F: 69DF48DD). Now only the "auto" mode is available, but I only used less than 20% of the credit limit |

To the GitHub Copilot Team, I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with your recent restrictions. Are you suggesting that a legitimate individual user running Copilot via remote control between remote and local environments is somehow "violating" your terms? This is an incredibly overbearing and unreasonable policy. As a paying subscriber, I expect the service to be available across my development environments, whether I am working locally or accessing my setup remotely. Restricting usage based on the method of access—especially when the intent is legitimate personal development—is a blatant disregard for user experience and a breach of the trust we place in a professional tool. Your current approach feels less like "managing service quality" and more like a forced restriction of a service I have already paid for. I demand a clear explanation for these "intelligence throttling" and access-limiting behaviors. |

@Akash1134 Why hasn't GitHub put out a statement on this? Why are paying Pro+ users still getting these extreme rate limits? |

Still experiencing this. The worst part is that I'm convinced that "Auto" mode not only selects worse models but configures them at the lowest possible effort setting. I'm having to ask it to continue after every tiny little step it makes, then it condenses and forgets what it's doing. |

Still experiencing this. 5 days, no reply to my support ticket. Perhaps it would be worth setting up a website? |

I recently conducted some experiments that support my hypotheses. Using the copilot with this information in mind can significantly reduce the chances of being rate-limited—at least, I no longer experience rate limits by following these rules.
In summary, these rules suggest:
With these rules in mind, the ideal usage of the Copilot becomes clear:

And THAT's more like it, they are truly cutting costs.
So act fast if you wish for a refund. Anyway, sounds logical for commercial (aka not losing money), terrible for us customers though. |

Copilot in GitHub
Body
When did these become a thing? I'm a Pro+ customer who consistently pays for hundreds worth of extra Claude Opus 4.6 credits per month. I might consider cancelling if this isn't a bug because I cannot afford to be hung out to dry for days at a time.
I tried switching to Opus 4.5, then Sonnet, but nothing budged.
After a while I attempted to start a chat using the web interface, only to be met with an suspicious half-accusation of scraping:

I've opened a support ticket but was wondering if anybody else has had similar issues? I frequently use Copilot in 1-3 windows simultaneously and used it under a VPN for a quarter of a hour or so earlier.
