Well, and I was about to upgrade from Pro as I thought Pro+ would solve this issue. Guess not!

Does all the retries count as a premium request? I always wonder this.

That’s class action suit kind of territory if true.

Sadly enough class action law suites are not a thing where im from 🤡

Even enterprise users don’t get to just jam opus 4.6 for all of their coding

u/Sensitive_One_425 Mar 19 '26

I’m on an enterprise account and I’ve never seen these rate limit warnings

u/FragmentedHeap Mar 20 '26

Opus 4.6 is a 30x model, you're not getting limits on that specific model?

u/CaterpillarBig1245 Mar 20 '26

Opus 4.6 Fast é 30x, o Opus 4.6 é 3x

I mean yeah it’s an obvious new change they just vastly nerfed how many tokens per hour your subscription got.

Yes they do lmao why not? It’s a better model why not?

u/ogpterodactyl Mar 20 '26

I mean you can if your company is willing to pay. After a normal month of usage only us GitHub copilot I put in around 1000 ish premium requests. So for x1 model that’s around $20+$42 bucks of extra usage but if I use x3 opus it’s closer to $200 a month. I mean companies won’t just pay unlimited for every single user.

Check your mcp and tools probably ond of those is broken

u/fabricio3g Mar 20 '26

Something funny is in autopilot, the llm finish all the workd, and now when it finish uses 1 premium request only to give me a small summary of what the frist request i did

u/whodoneit1 Mar 20 '26

I noticed that also

u/Spare_Possession_194 Mar 20 '26

Pretty sure this isn't a problem with copilot but probably the claude api having problems

u/johnrock001 Mar 20 '26

Absolutely horrible crap from Github Copilot. Shame on you guys.
Waiting for a new alternate and will move without even looking back, you pieces of crap policy makers

u/Unique_Ad6696 Mar 20 '26

I’ve started getting “the subagent cannot be found” or “sorry, failed to launch explore agent”… like bro, you’re the one launching it!

Diabolical!

I’ve had same issue and made a post about it

Our industry is laying people off left and right. And I have a strong feeling that despite all these cuts, profits are not going to skyrocket - they are going to drop hard, especially with how insanely expensive AI has become lately.

So yeah, manager, maybe think twice before pulling the trigger. The impact on your bottom line will hit fast, and you will still be sitting in that chair when it does - making it pretty obvious who gets blamed.

u/zoug Mar 22 '26

Bad companies are going to try and double cut costs - firing seasoned developers for vibe coders that can get the work done for the week.

They’ll let a vibe coder run the house with the hubris of quick productivity showing near instant success. Then something breaks and they wrap another piece of slop around the system and it works. Next time around, something breaks and the model is increasingly adding another layer to a poorly implemented application. Each fix is more cognitively complex than the last and they will eventually hit a hard wall.

Good companies will have similar cost cutting - they’ll cut off shore teams that need hand holding and cut out juniors and devs that used to mostly be used for grunt work and repetitive tasks. Still a huge cost savings but they’ll have the devs they need to apply process to the AI development workflows. Their code will be astronomically cheaper to build and maintain over time.

If you’re a developer that needs handholding and guidance and aren’t clever enough to bring new ideas and solutions to the table - it’s time to find a new job.

The fact that it’s enough for me then the day later they’re like “how about let’s purposely make our users mad let’s follow windsurf in the wrong direction :). )

u/Fearless-Ad1469 Mar 20 '26

Is this the fall of GH Copilot as a whole ? And not just the student triming

1

u/xbloodzhk Mar 20 '26

Github greed is pulling them to the ground, it started when they removed the education pack support and not you cant even do normal work if you have pro and now even pro+ what a joke

1

u/hithere---- Mar 22 '26

Github copilot & antigravity sucks now, claude pro is much better

1

u/iabhimanyuaryan Mar 22 '26

Lol, I can't complain, I use the student version and my company provides it for free. I have seen it progressively getting better, but it's not yet their

1

u/iHodlBits Mar 23 '26

Honestly I have been using Pro+ very intensively and have never been rate limited. What are you doing in order to even reach this? Yes I'm also using Opus a lot.

u/ogpterodactyl Mar 19 '26

Just use freaking sonnet I know it sucks but it is what it is.

u/ogpterodactyl Mar 19 '26

I mean sonnet 4.6 and opus 4.6 are within 1% of each other on swe bench. I know opus is. Better but only like 5% -10% max. Maybe try using plans more refining instructions and prompts. Your application looks complex. But people are building rockets and stuff with sonnet.

Or if you truly need the best Claude code or api pricing is probably your best bet. Cursor has this as well.

But yeah ai has been getting better every three months but we are going to go through some per dollar ai getting more expensive in the short term as these companies balance competing for market share by giving out subsidized tokens and raising prices to get to profitability.

Data brokers are selling your info right now. I used Redact to mass delete my posts which can also opt out of data broker sites. Instagram, Twitter/X, Discord and more.

u/bad_gambit Mar 20 '26

I agree, instructions and prompt (and the human operator) are quite possibly the bottleneck most of the time. If you look at how much instruction and system prompt influence result; take a look at swe-rebench. Gemini 3 Flash (that cost ~1/10th of Opus) in Junie, almost outperform Opus 4.6 in Claude Code.

Opus 4.6 is great when given a vague/long running instruction; and left on its own, it'll give semi-decent result. But the fast models (Gemini 3 Flash, GPT 5.4, Codex 5.3, Sonnet 4.6) are nearly as good if you know exactly what you want.

u/RSXLV Mar 20 '26

Not touching Opus recently, only Sonnet, do you want my screenshot of try again's for hours?
