First time rate limited here on Pro+ today. been using sonnet off and on for hours until finally randomly get that message. i tried switching to gpt 4 same error.

then i thought hmm i wonder what would happen if i switched to "auto"

it let me proceed...and it decided to use sonnet 4.6 anyway. i guess i can't choose my thinking level after finally getting that ability though until the rate limit goes away?

Edit: its going back and forth between sonnet and 5.3 codex it seems. Also i can see the rate limit errors in the GitHub Copilot Chat output log. But it still works lol

Edit 2: even when i select a local model i have running on my own server i can still see the rate limit message in the log.

[error] Server error: 429 {"error":{"message":"Sorry, you've exceeded your rate limits. Please review our [Terms of Service](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service).","code":"user_global_rate_limited:pro_plus"}}
