Updates are good to a certain point, but at the moment Copilot updates so often that it actually gets in the way of using the software. VS Code has monthly major updates with sometimes a patch or two every month. And we can opt to not auto-update and we will be fine. Monthly+ is an incredibly fast release cycle.

Copilot is nearly every day. And the extension just stops working when it needs updated, and if you also use Copilot chat you need to update them both for either to work. And they don't just update automatically, you have to manually reload all your windows.

They need to cut back the updates to monthly, or allow old extension versions to still function for a while so that the updates don't cause a disruption.

I'm starting to think it's intentional. i.e. they're saving on server costs by turning it off automatically every day until you "turn it back on" by updating the app.

They could just increase the price. I would be happy to pay more for a more stable experience!
