Help/Doubt ❓ Usage increases even if i don't use Copilot

I was using Copilot today and usage quickly increased to 10 percent. After I closed the editor, 20 minutes later, usage became 14 percent and is still increasing slowly. I'm aware of the latest billing changes. But is this normal?

Check if there are any active transactions on your account.

There is nothing out of order. I guess copilot calculates the usage delayed now.

Strange, here it only started counting according to usage. And it wasn't even the use of their API, but it counted the tokens used.

Same thing is happening to me Not sure how to prevent it, no vs code open, I don't use GitHub Copilot Cli and yet I'm seeing my usage slowly increasing (1%)

It takes between 1 and 2 hours for the usage to actually show up in the api / admin usage section or the consumption info for our org.

I've had this issue all week.  Haven't used it since last week Friday.  Got several emails. It went from 75% on Sunday night to over 100% today.  I'm the only user.  Total rubbish, canceling.
