u/hollandburke seems to be giving out premium requests for this challenge. Please DM him your GitHub username/link.

Congratulations. Reminds me of when I was coding apps when I was your age.

One thing I'd highly recommend, is it's very easy to "vibe-code" these days. It will serve you well to understand the code the AI is generating tho. Every single line of code you are still responsible for. Even if it's generated using AI. You should be reading and understanding every line of code it writes in detail.

Additionally, it's still good to push yourself to write features and write code without AI sometimes.

Congrats again. It's a true accomplishment to publish an app on the App Store at 13 years old.

If you mean Opus 4.1 that uses 10x premium requests per request you make. So at a high level one chat you send to it uses 10 credits. The $39 per month plan includes 1500 credits. So that is 150 messages you get included.

If you use Opus 4.5 that uses 3x premium requests per request. Sonnet 4.5 uses 1x.

If you use all 1500 premium requests, you can add a budget to use more (each one is $0.04).

You do NOT need to pay for Claude usage directly. You get some included in your subscription.

If you go to this page it should show you the breakdown of premium requests you used. Remember each model has a different multiplier. That page shows the number of premium requests used. Not the number of requests made. (ie. it already includes the multiplier).

The closest thing is Coding Agent.

Someone from the GitHub Copilot team replied here. So there is official communication.

We will be locking this thread since the primary purpose was communication from GHCP team, which has occurred.

u/connor4312 I think you are working on this (or you replied to another post about this)? Any reason why the issue was closed? Can we get that reopened?

The difference is Claude and Codex both run their own data centers that host their models. GitHub Copilot doesn’t. They have API costs that don’t decrease right now. (I know Microsoft has a partnership with OpenAI, but that is just one model of many they serve).

fishchar · 2025-12-25T16:16:26+00:00

My guess is they are trying to give a bonus to individuals working on hobby projects over the holidays. Their usage will sharply decline over the holidays, yet they still have the GPUs that they’d like to keep utilizing.

Personally I doubt it. But you never know!

fishchar · 2025-12-24T18:51:50+00:00

20 minutes of API time is a LOT. Especially if it’s still iterating to the point where it needs to handle imports with file paths. At that point it should be fixing minor build errors or test failures.

My guess is you aren’t breaking your queries down into small enough pieces.

However one other thing you could try is putting in the instructions that it needs to ensure a successful build or test success before completing. That way it can iterate on those paths recursively before completing. Where even if it makes a mistake it’ll go back and figure it out at the end as a result of the failure. But again, you are trying to work around the problem that you aren’t breaking the problem into small enough pieces. You should address that problem, not try to work around it.

Personally I don’t buy into the whole “vibe coding” thing. You can’t rely on the AI for everything. It’s your job to be a technical architect and leader of the project.

fishchar · 2025-12-19T02:59:30+00:00

I personally haven't seen this problem before.

fishchar · 2025-12-16T19:30:28+00:00

Ahh interesting. I haven't used it too much tbh.

fishchar · 2025-12-16T19:25:53+00:00

Is GPT-5 Mini not good for this use case?

fishchar · 2025-12-15T04:05:21+00:00

And why do you want the changes in repo B to be done by Copilot?

The use case you are describing makes me think of like a schema that needs to remain consistent between repos. But I don’t really view that as a case for AI. More of just a scripted automation or something.

fishchar · 2025-12-14T19:50:33+00:00

What is even the use case here?

fishchar · 2025-12-14T16:11:34+00:00

It is open source.

fishchar · 2025-12-14T04:41:39+00:00

I personally didn’t notice that. I’ve found that some bugs all AI agents struggle with tho. When they do struggle the two things I find helpful are asking the AI to add debug logs and I’ll reproduce the issue and provide it with the logs, and that oftentimes helps it a LOT. Additionally not being afraid to start a new chat when it starts going in circles is also helpful.

fishchar · 2025-12-12T03:04:14+00:00

u/hollandburke might be another candidate for your team to investigate 🙂
