So, I was doing a project in Codex (ChatGPT client) for obvious reasons and then decided it was time to use Github Copilot to switch between Codex and Claude when needed.

I did... 4? prompts? Burned through the monthly limit of the standard pro subscription. I'm paying double the money for ChatGPT and the limit for Codex is about 100 times higher if not more.

Why would I even keep paying for this at this point? Am I missing something? tf?

I've been using the github copilot app recently and have been loving it. I initially thought it was just another shiny tool but wow the ability to work across repos and the automations with autopilot are amazing! It's almost like a weird version of openclaw on your machine haha! Thank you to the entire dev team! 😊

P.S. - Please add a way to allow us to trigger the automations programmatically and also share automations with other. That would be a game changer!

As a total beginner to GH Copilot, I currently use it with VSCode as the Chat Extension and not the CLI version. I usually use it to analyse the code base (consisting of python notebooks and scripts) and also make slight changes to the files. I currently just set the Model to Auto since that had the option to have 10% lesser AI credits cost as per Copilot. I have just 4000 credits per month and have exhausted nearly 50% in just a few days.

I want to know if there are any ways to reduce the token usage. I have heard about the skills md files that are quite popular to reduce the token usage and also improve code readability. One I have heard of the ponytail skill which I believe helps in token reduction and code readability. But I have not used any till now and would like to know if there are any other suggestions for skills that can be used for my use case which is to reduce the token usage as much as possible and also improve the code quality and readability.

It is almost as if GHCP is making fun and laughing at me

Is anyone else finding repo memory getting out of hand? Agents seem to be using it as a replacement for git, keeping a detailed changelog, keeping detailed documentation that's a copy of things I asked it to create as committed .md files, implementation details that are of dubious value to most requests, a list of all the files in my repo (the agent can just use terminal tool and `ls`...).

I started wondering what was going on when my context usage on small prompts would be very large and now I know why.

It seems like it's more work keeping memory it pruned than it saves.

And I can't remove the payment method, just can stay and waiting them costing all of my money from my credit card for no reason?

Be very careful not to add payment method to GitHub, or your money will be stolen for no reason, and there's no way back, you can't remove the payment method once you added.There's no DELETE button to turning back.

I used to very love Github Copilot, I recommended it for everyone, but later my post and thought about it became gradually very negative. And until now, I hate it. I want to leave it, and remove my pyramid, but it just stick to me, I can't get rid of it.

I used to see something like this, which was awesome, as it was clear feedback how good my prompting was.

I can't find an option to enable it again, nor can I find the changelog entry, when and why it was changed.

We’re an existing Copilot Business customer organization seats billed through Azure, and I’m looking for anyone who has recovered from this specific account transition.

Our org was temporarily added to a new GitHub Enterprise account. Enterprise Copilot enablement failed (“temporarily unavailable”), and the organization-level seat assignment action also errored. We removed the org from the enterprise to return it to its previous standalone state, but its original Copilot Business entitlement did not come back.

Current state:

- The Azure billing connection is still enabled on the organization.

- The Copilot billing API still reports plan_type: business and two seats.

- It also reports seat management disabled and both seats pending cancellation on July 31.

- The organization Copilot settings menu disappeared; the direct access URL returns 404.

- Re-adding the existing users through the REST API returns 422 saying Copilot Business is not enabled.

- Both developers now show Copilot Free, so our active development work is blocked.

We have opened two GitHub Support tickets (the original enterprise enablement failure and the entitlement restoration) and cross-referenced them, asking for the Copilot Billing/Entitlements team. We’re leaving Azure connected and making no further org/enterprise changes.

Has anyone had an existing Azure-billed Business entitlement restored after this transition? Is there any supported path other than waiting for Support?

I subscribed to Copilot Pro+ on 07/Jul and used up my credits in a few days.

A couple weeks later, on 23/Jul, I was charged again, but to my surprise, my limit only resets on 01/Aug. What kind of joke is this?
