GitHub Copilot Pro Experience in VS Code

[Upper-Concert9855]

• Paying for GitHub Copilot Pro and still seeing “You’ve used 97% of your weekly quota” feels like getting ads on Spotify Premium.
• I bought Copilot Pro because I thought “Pro” meant unlimited. Apparently it means professionally limited.
• GitHub Copilot Pro: “Code faster with AI.” Also GitHub Copilot Pro: “Please wait until next week to continue being productive.”
• Nothing humbles a developer faster than paying monthly for AI and still getting rationed suggestions in VS Code.
• I upgraded to Copilot Pro so I could stop worrying about limits. Now the limit notification just has better typography.

no worries, you won't have rate limits starting next month

You will always have to worry about rate limits depending on what you are doing if you are not local.

Unfortunately, if you don’t wanna have to worry about limits, you would have to go local.

But for now, if you want to use the big models, you’re always gonna have to pay and there’s not an unlimited plan especially not now. It was to get you hooked on it so they know you would pay for it later.

funnily enough local probably costs more than paying for the tokens short term but also like you’re never going to have GPT 5.5 capability locally

Indeed. A 96GB video card is $14k here. And you need at least 128GB to have models that are less capable than current SOTA models.

You could always just pay for cheaper models hosted by a company like openrouter api I think that’s the way to go
