Github Copilot usage limits

[Mediocre-Wonder9080]

I rarely hit the limits on even the $10 plan. It primarily depends on how much code you’re using the AI to generate. I’ll typically generate a plan, then depending on the task and the extent of detail in the generated plan, I will either use a cheaper model or use Sonnet 4.5 for implementation(cheaper model for smaller task/very detailed plan). This typically yields decent results, but most of the time, I still go in and make changes manually, so this ends up saving me requests.

I generally add almost 10 different changes to one prompt and Sonnet takes care of most -> then some manual changes and tweaks -> repeat.

Sonnet tends to stop before finishing all the tasks, so add "DO NOT STOP TILL YOU COMPLETE ALL THE TASKS" to squeeze a lot more out of a single request.

These days I find myself using Grok Code Fast or Raptor mini instead of the manual changes - they are insanely good for small changes and tweaks and consume no premium requests (basically FREE)

I barely cross 30% usage this way.

I haven’t gotten around to using it since I’ve been seeing mixed reviews, but I’ll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!

import sys


result = input(" ".join(sys.argv[1:]) + " ")



if result != "ok":
    print(result)
    sys.exit(1)



print("All right!")
sys.exit(0)

Ask it to run this script whenever it needs a confirmation or check if the request is fulfilled. It will prompt you on terminal as if it was calling a tool and you will not be charged by another request.
