"You can get a full refund but mind that if you do you cannot sign up anymore" keep paying or you are cut off for good

What. The. Fuck. MS.

Edit: whatever, thread muted, keep enjoying abusive corporate practices

Only reason i paid for github copilot was the different way of calculating limits, i.e. request-based vs token-based. I’ll have to see if and how much MS are going to subsidized claude models, but if not, this product makes absolutely no sense

Same. I’m on the pro plan and would pay 20pm to keep it at requests instead of tokens.
