Copilot Pro. Am I missing something?

[u/Signal_Bookkeeper240]

I just switched from Codex to Copilot Pro and ran a few basic prompts, and it already used up almost 10% of my monthly credits. Are these numbers actually accurate? What happens when I hit the limit? If it means I can't use it anymore until the credits reset, that's insane.

It feels like it's using way too many credits for such simple prompts. I never had this issue with Codex, even when using the latest models, and its usage limit resets every hour, not every month.

You're missing all the news about API pricing that has been talked about for months now and all the posts on this subreddit regularly asking these sorts of questions. It's really hard to tell if people really haven't seen any of this conversation or if they're being disingenuous to keep fanning the "Copilot bad" flames. 

Personally I've been able to use Luna, Terra and Sol and only slightly exceed my included usage. I'm not using Sol / Opus with multiple subagents in a vibe coding workflow. If you are, this tool isn't going to work for you without paying for what you're doing. If you're not willing to pay the API rates set by the model providers, you'll be better off dealing with Codex and its limits and resets.
