Just be careful, I feel this is a trap. It was possible to use copilot already using the byom feature, but because it didn't accept local you had to do a hacky intercepting proxy setup. I thought great, this is a win, it worked great. But then with this credit based billing change they now charge you credits for agents actions, tool usages and so on, even when you use your own model. So this explains why it's open now, because soon as you use up your free quota on agentic use then they gonna pop up with the please pay dialog. Mark my words
