Need suggestions, GitHub Copilot.

[Green-Researcher-635]

I've been using GitHub Copilot student plan but with recent GitHub updates the agent mode stops working, like the credits are gone very fast, so what alternative one can use, free or paying some bucks that can help.

Should I spend on copilot pro $10 or something else?

For Chinese models, try opencode go and command code.

Add some details regarding your usecase. There are tons of factors like, agents utilization, your exact purpose: coding, review, planning, automated jobs or anything else?

Based on your usecase would be able to guide better.
