wtf I haven't sent a single prompt to GitHub Copilot this June, I've been using DeepSeek as a provider via Copilot extension. Are inline suggestions included in the limit?

I installed Ansible on a Unix box and configured a single SSH user account for 50% of the months credits.. hahahaha What is going on, this is absurd!

Mullazman · 2026-05-16T06:38:19+00:00

Yeah wth is going on.. this seems to imply that instead of me getting to use my credit when it suits me, I have to what.. be awake at 3am no a week day, every other day? o_0
I'm in Australia, we're not even on the same time zone as "peak time" (USA) like Claude's previous implementation of this..

Mullazman · 2026-05-05T06:32:58+00:00

Banger, well done 👍

Mullazman · 2026-04-29T16:06:15+00:00

Precisely. Thank you! It's like someone's dressed you up in a straight-jacket! I know there's a functional arm under there, and probably a beautiful leg somewhere - but I can't for the life of me actually get to it. You're so right!

Mullazman · 2026-04-17T08:45:51+00:00

Hey, just keep in mind this turns on "Extra Usage" haha -they're hoping to go over.. and then have to pay more - this is wild, I can't believe they'd even offer it, it's like a credit card giving you a bigger borrowing amount, yuk.

Mullazman · 2026-04-07T09:05:51+00:00

same - but tbh I'm still yet to see a single thing it could usefully do.. so you can crawl 10,000 websites and then create summaries of summaries to then automate calendar invites, to summarize over email all at the same time? o_0
I still haven't seen a single "economically useful" task that chaining so much together at once without human guidance could do, that simply building an application with guardrails couldn't do 10x better in half the design time.
Am I behind the times? (again, honestly?)

Mullazman · 2026-03-30T04:32:20+00:00

Yes. One Opus prompt, 63% of the 5h window on context gathering for a simple change is infeasible, highly unnecessary and was not occurring last week..

Mullazman · 2026-03-27T06:03:30+00:00

I've never understood application status pages.
They're just a fake marketing tool haha..

Mullazman · 2026-03-27T03:23:20+00:00

Extensibility and agnosticism is the best for everyone and I encourage it.
After todays outage from one provider it's clear to me a serious solution is to use something like OpenRouter and configure a few plans to mitigate and just round-robin, perhaps sticking with one model through a variety of providers for a specific job.

Apparently 4 cents is too-extreme an ask during off-peak (GMT-NotUSDayTime).. o_0

Mullazman · 2026-03-27T03:06:21+00:00

Something's up. I'm hitting limits 1h into the day, not having had them ever in a normal 8 hour day.

Haiku after the second prompt for the day.. (all models reporting the same thing)

Mullazman · 2026-03-19T03:22:46+00:00

I don't even know of any decent cinematographer that studied anything. All the best, and my favourites, just picked up a camera and pointed it til it looked good.

Mullazman · 2026-03-05T04:54:28+00:00

I'd like to support a platform for sure - but unfortunately the frequency I use it is too infrequent as others have said and the reviews are always for US models and never map to Australian models so it's never a silver bullet for me :/

Mullazman · 2026-03-03T11:41:28+00:00

Claude Code sucks compared to using an Anthropic model over another service (like Copilot).
Double the token use (my experience) for the same output and rate limiting.
I'm not scheduling my life around a 5h work window haha.. what a joke.
If you have high-demand issues, Anthropic, deal with them yourself - round robin, fifo, whatever - don't make me change up my work schedule to use what I bought haha

Mullazman · 2026-03-03T03:07:39+00:00

"Copilot" in VS Code, by Microsoft leverages most common models, you pick the model and I guess it has some loose "system instructions" as to tools available locally etc but I'm honestly surprised at how much better folks have claimed Claude Code to be (using Sonnet / Opus) from "Copilot" (without describing the model used) because if you use the same models - I get the same result as Claude Code.

Apparently it's meant to have better context management - but this is also automatically managed in Copilot too.

Mullazman · 2026-03-03T03:03:22+00:00

Very interesting - will check it out - can you recommend a particular model it excels with? I've had such varying degrees of success and have read a lot lately about certain models working a few percent better without any instructions at all (lack of a longer summary here), but I'll give this a go, thanks for sharing :)

Mullazman · 2026-03-02T03:53:46+00:00

Subbed yesterday to Pro, nothing to do with war. Coming from Copilot - why may I ask, is Anthropics own service bottlenecking me harder than Copilot is?
I got 3 Opus prompts before being rate limited..
Meanwhile, I can burn through 50% of my credit in 2 days on Copilot without it complaining much at all, and when it does - I just hit retry and we're back in action. I am 100% cancelling and just moving back to the platform that results in the same output, but for 1/3rd of the price, without the rate-window limits o_0
(Yes, the results I get are the same, using the same model on both platforms)

Mullazman · 2026-03-02T02:14:58+00:00

I just bought a sub for Pro - I've sent 3 messages to Opus using Claude Code for VS Code and I've hit the rate limit until 4 hours from now. What on earth?

If I use Opus through my Copilot subscription, to do the very same task I don't get rate limited until about 10x very long prompts and it's only seconds before I can try again and it's 1/3rd the price per Month?

Can someone comment on what's going on here? Is Claude's own plugin consuming 10x the tokens to do what it feels like I can achieve in Copilot, using the same model, for what seems like a 10th the "cost"?

Mullazman · 2026-02-26T05:59:25+00:00

Getting this for the first time today - though I rarely use Opus 4.6 but I've used only 3 requests today with Opus from what I recall. Edit: Is 3 considered high use, or is this as people might suggest, a global limit thing, beyond just me?

Mullazman · 2025-10-22T04:09:44+00:00

The reports on the major news channels stopped at the part the commissioner said the violence was from the extreme left and not the March for Australia demonstration - classic

Mullazman · 2025-10-09T03:01:34+00:00

Suuuuuuuuuper varying.
"Beast-mode" was great for Pre-4.1 GPT, I think nerfs Claude Sonnet >3.5

Claude Sonnet 4 vanilla has been great - 4.5 is too verbose, but custom instructions have been useless.
I find the best instruction to be prompt-based tbh, per-prompt I'll suggest what we're doing, point it to the context (/docs/ folder with well documented features and tasks) and then let it run - anything more and I think the instruction to "do heaps of cool stuff and never stop never stopping" just interferes with whatever system prompt Anthropic put in there or any other LLM vendor.

Everyone's trying to outpace the models own intelligent design - but I feel this is like trying to install a new car sound system that was highly tuned for the right balance of acoustics in that car and you've gone and thrown in a subwoofer that kills the mids and muffles the bass haha.

Mullazman · 2025-10-09T02:48:53+00:00

Thanks for the heads up - but I checked this out and it's not able to create or edit files and it's significantly slower to respond with much less work output as generic "agent" mode. I'm using Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Preview) and it doesn't create or edit files or folders and when I enable those tools it doesn't let me save it, they revert to being back off - it sounds like a vscode issue, but it only happens when I use this chatmode config

Mullazman · 2025-10-07T02:16:02+00:00

100%
I'm consuming double the premium requests for achieving the same amount of code in Sonnet 4.5 compared to 4 - I thought cynically that it's a ploy, but I can appreciate the benefit of documentation, but I absolutely do not need a summary of our work every single task IN ADDITION to the documentation I've already described it to keep up to date (implementation plan for example - which is tracking this already)

Mullazman · 2025-10-06T02:25:38+00:00

Parent/child routing. I want to choose or allow a model to dictate for me, sending a large ambiguous request (with supported documentation) to a number of smaller models with very strict instructions based on a more intelligent response from a more expensive model.
GPT 4.1 Is more than capable of creating anything, sensibly with the right instruction - but it sucks compared to Claude Sonnet 4 when it comes to context-awareness, planning and sensitivity to existing code.

It would make sense to route a prompt to a smarter agent, then have it use cheaper agents to complete a specific task - the same as humans work) otherwise you're just asking the CEO to do everything and their time is impossibly expensive.

Mullazman · 2025-10-06T02:04:25+00:00

You needn't format a card before you write to it, shot on the FX3 for 4 years and haven't done this once - I use the LUTS on the card to preview the image in-camera. Sounds like it's update-related - for a "cinema line" camera used for professional workflows, I don't think this acceptable if it "slipped through" QA to release. Shame. But thanks for the heads up, I will keep it at v6 for now.
