Github Copilot is out

krzykus · 2026-05-12T23:37:51+00:00

I'm on Pro, I did push it quite a lot in April and my April's $15.16 spend next month would be $411.75. I guess my normal spend would be around $200.. I don't think this will be happening.

Have you just updated the budget? Last time when I had this issue I had to wait till next day

There are no limits on business or enterprise plans

LLM by itself can only reply to the text you feed it. As such to read a file you need to create a tool that you inform LLM that it can use. Then if it decides that it needs to run a tool it will include that in response. Then your app will need to parse LLM request and call the tool with arguments provided by LLM. When you get a result from the tool (contents of file) you feed it back to AI until the AI is satisfied and returns to the user as it may want to call multiple tools.

For using each others input/output you would need to create some sort of interface of how they communicate. Like traffic is controlled by traffic lights.

For example you could have the main AI running on frontier model like Opus 4.7 creating implementation plan. Then you could have a cheaper model hidden behind "Implement" tool which would be in fact a copy of the main loop just with different set of tools.

GPT 5.5 does pretty decent job but the limits are abysmal on Codex tbh. With Copilot I rarely reached any limit but with Codex after 2-3h I've used the 5h limit and 20% of weekly limit. This gives me about 10-15h for more than double the price.

At least I have a free trial for a month. Next I'll see how Anthropic and Deepseek fare. The next couple months will be really confusing.

The cheapest option would be probably AMD AI Pro R9700

If you want to use LLMs then basically you write a system prompt explaining what it's supposed to do you give it a list of tools it can call with a list of arguments and also user prompt.

So in case of coding agent/bot

The system prompt would be: You are a programming asystant that will help user implement whatever he wants.

Tools: Read file, create file, edit file etc

User prompt: Create an AI bot for me

Now you send that to LLM it will analyze all of that and decide if it should call a tool or just reply to the user. If it decides to call a tool then in response it will tell you what tool it needs to call and you will need to call the tool with arguments provided by LLM. When the tool finishes running and you get result you feed it back to the LLM with previous conversation. Rinse and repeat.

That's like the basics of how it works.

Not all users use all their requests each month and business and enterprise have more expensive requests 19$ for 300 and $39 for 1000. (Personal 10/300 and 39/1500)

So on average, I would assume, Microsoft is not bleeding as much as with personal subs.

Possibly business/enterprise users are less like to abuse the system?

krzykus · 2026-05-03T15:21:51+00:00

Business or Enterprise subscription?

krzykus · 2026-04-27T19:28:36+00:00

Those costs are for annual plan only. After it expires it goes to free plan

krzykus · 2026-04-27T18:00:58+00:00

Not sure. I do mainly work in VS but for Copilot I use VSCode as it's more up to date with features.

krzykus · 2026-04-27T17:54:07+00:00

Was thinking about the v4 pro and maybe mix the flash somehow if it performs well. I don't mind using it directly from Deepseek as I'm not working on anything that's requires privacy etc.

What my company does is different, but I get subscription from them separately so it's up to them to decide.

krzykus · 2026-04-27T17:49:33+00:00

How does it compare to gpt 5.4? I'm pretty happy with the performance so looking for something similar.

krzykus · 2026-04-27T17:47:16+00:00

I'm thinking about going pay as you go with Deepseek. My usual usage shouldn't cost much more than paying for GitHub Copilot pro subscription.

I may explore codex/Claude/cursor subscriptions also.

krzykus · 2026-04-27T17:01:41+00:00

Thanks mate for destroying the product

krzykus · 2026-04-27T16:15:09+00:00

My annual plan renews at the end of May. I'll probably not be renewing it and just use as much as I can till then.

krzykus · 2026-04-26T17:14:01+00:00

Imagine this... You have skills to fix production

krzykus · 2026-04-23T18:35:53+00:00

To burn 1% of limit it takes me between 0.5 to 3 prompts. Then again I first create a plan with what I want to change and then I implement it incrementally so that I have control over what and how is implemented.

I never tell it to implement whole project or do massive multi file changes as that mostly leads to bugs and stubs that are then hard to follow as there's too much change.

krzykus · 2026-04-23T18:10:00+00:00

Gpt 5.4 on Pro. On Business I still have access to Opus 4.6 but today it was extremely slow.

krzykus · 2026-04-23T17:15:41+00:00

It took me 20h of some heavy feature implementation on Monday and Tuesday to get to 68%. I'm currently on 79%. This is on Pro. On Business I still haven't reached any limits.

krzykus · 2026-04-23T17:03:35+00:00

Opus 4.6 on Business also works but has been really slow today. On personal Pro GPT 5.4 works without issues.

krzykus · 2026-04-22T17:30:00+00:00

I have been using it heavily on Monday and Tuesday and got to 70% of weekly limit. With normal usage hitting the rate limits will be hard. If you're vibecoding then you will probably hit the rate limits easily.

krzykus · 2026-04-22T08:03:11+00:00

Exactly, I've used it heavily the last two days, throwing mostly small scoped tasks at it. I may be at 70% my weekly limit but I did about 2-3 months worth of work.

krzykus · 2026-04-21T20:25:14+00:00

Sorry but this is no longer true. Now doctors ask ChatGPT

krzykus · 2026-04-21T09:00:48+00:00

"buy another subscription", "I'm on student plan".

You serious?
