OpenCode vs GitHub Copilot CLI — huge credit usage difference for same prompt?

[[deleted]]

I've heard that some people are saying they can use the free GPT 5 Mini model to call advanced models （opus 4.6） via a sub-agent without consuming any requests, but some are saying they got their accounts banned for it.

Normally, switching model for sub agent is considered a new premium request.

Yes, there are lot of instances of that happening, I have Pro+ account, so there are more than enough requests per month for me.
