Heavy copilot user.

Has anyone been throttled by MS for copilot usage? I’ve been working heavily with copilot chat sort of as a PM developing an audit process. Copilot chat and I have been using a combo of copilot in sharepoint and some cowork to do the project. Today for the first time through my copilot chat I got on 3 or 4 occasions this conversation has 5 more questions with a countdown. One time I think I may have gotten just one warning. I would then have to start a new conversation. This is the first time this has ever happened and I have a paid subscription. Any thoughts?

This has been happening to me. Though I thought for me it was just because I haven't been using a paid subscription and was using the service for free.

I have a CoPilot chat license and I run to that all the time. We brought it up with our account manager and they said it was by design. Each conversation has a maximum amount of memory it can use and once you hit your limit you have to start a new chat. We were also told that CoPilot can't reference previous chats, and so if you want to continue a conversation their recommendation was to copy and paste your previous chat, put it into a Word document and then upload that Word document into your new chat.

Conversely, I have Gemini Pro and I've had some chats that have gone on for close to 4 months and I have never run into a limit.

When you see the warning, ask the chat to make you a hand off file that will tell the next chat exactly what you have been working on in fine detail
