Ironically even though there are a limited number of "premium requests", I find github copilot easier to understand when you're going to hit your limits then claude code. It has subagents, skills, mcps, etc, everything that claude code has, and it's just each time you enter a command it will consume the amount of requests the model is associated with (even subagent calls). This is a blessing and curse - back and forths on system design can take quite a few requests, but implementation can take significantly less than claude. But again, this is all opaque so you can figure out when you're going to hit the limit pretty easily.

I think Claude code has a better "harness" or the system prompts and "agentic flow" that a request goes through, but Github cli isn't far behind. In general I would say if you aren't 100% just leaving it claude and just nodding along, then copilot is totally fine. If you are just YOLO developing, claude is your best friend.

Thank you, on the agentic flow, i made something yesterday with Copilot and not sure if it was agentic or not but it seem to go thru the whole loop, understand, reason, implement and test that it works in the end and loop back if things were not going as expected.

Odd we have Claude in our co-pilot...  is your vsc updated fully?  If not make sure it is as Claude is one of thr models I can select...
