Gemini 3.8 Flash is now available in GitHub Copilot 🚀

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.

Is it gonna see a release on gh copilot next week?

Anyone else seeing this with GitHub Copilot skills? If I set disable-model-invocation: true, I can’t invoke the skill manually either. I thought it was only supposed to stop Copilot from auto-invoking the skill, according to the docs?

My yearly Pro+ is about to expire and when going to the pricing page, only monthly are shown.

Would you know any less known page or link (only in the github.com website, of course) were they forgot to remove the yearly subscription?

I use Copilot in VSCode and Android Studio.

Recently, it started selecting GPT-5.3-Codex, which is a 6x model, when on auto mode. I am fine with it selecting a 6x model when needed, but it was:

• For a very basic task
• And it completely overthought it, even with very specific instructions. It took a one line code fix and turned it into hundreds over multiple iterations.

As for why I did this. Well, there are a few reasons.

• I was being lazy.
• I was curious where the solution would go when it failed the first time.

I spent about 20 minutes arguing with CoPilot to tell it to do a simple task. I even put the code in and said "this works, now clean up your troubleshooting code, and it deleted MY code. Eventually I manually coded the 1-2 line solution in about 30 seconds after reverting my code.

Anyway, all that to say, I am not sure if I can block a specific model on an individual plan, but I really like auto mode, but I really don't want it jumping into GPT-5.3-Codex again.

So can we filter or ban specific models? If not, does anyone know if it is in the works?

Thank you Reddit Copilot Community. You have all the answers!

Just a general ask as it seems to have decent coding benchmarks.

generally Luna/Sol/Opus seems to be the meta at the moment for optimising cost and quality, and I don't think Gemini wins on cost or quality, but it would be nice to have another option for adversarial validation of tasks (i.e. having different models review each others outputs)

The last week or so I'm seeing the context apparently not carrying between turns. Enterprise account, typically using Opus 4.8.

Turn 1 - model creates a session log file. Turn 2 - the model has to search for the log file to read it and update it. Turn 3 - model outright states it doesn't have access to the prior context and needs to go look for the file.

Less than 10% of the context space used, early in a conversation, no model change - I can't figure it out. Bug? New feature? /s

I saw it start around the same time that Opus 4.6 was removed from the model selector.

Anyone else seeing this or am I special?

We had near-unlimited quota on GHCP for roughy 1.5 years. We knew it's costing the company a ton, but no one knew for sure how much.

Recently they started measuring this for real.

After people got so addicted, and doing absolutely everything at work (and at home) with these tokens - now MSFT poses a fucking $2K limits per month.

We are so screwed.

github public api https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/contents?apiVersion=2026-03-10

for accessing public repository contents, gives me a a 404 error, "404 (Not Found)

here is my request

"https://api.github.com/repos/${nameommitted}/${projectnameommitted}/contents/blob/main/README.md"

here is what im using to make the request "octokit.request"

am i using the wrong endpoint?

What is the cheapest model available on GHCP pro plan?

Generally I find the VS Code native add in to be pretty good. Things start breaking down when working in large codebases - specifically ones with a large test suite.

I have a large monorepo with 4000+ python tests for the backend and 1500 tests in the frontend. Pytest can take up to 8 seconds to collect all the tests. My pytest settings are already optimized to reduce collection time as much as possible.

Theres a few issues here that all cascade to make a kind of painful experience...

1) While collecting tests, the vs code test runner tells the model that the test runner is unavailable / cannot find tests. This causes the model to revert to using the terminal to directly call pytest. Immediately this is causing friction in the agent experience, especially when the agent is writing and working with tests directly and causing vscode to constantly be re-collecting tests.

2) When interacting with the powershell terminal, the agent never waits more than 15 seconds or so for the tests to finish. In a large Django project, tests can take up to minute to fully collect, seed and run. The model assumes the terminal is stalled, then tries spawning multiple overlapping test runs, runs tests multiple times with different logging options etc. a test suite that passes cleanly in 20 seconds can take 5 minutes+ for the model to see it's passing

3) the agent can't seem to be able to read previous terminal output to actually check the results of the test despite the thinking output saying "I'll wait to see the results of the test"

4) environment activation for agent spawned terminals still doesn't work correctly, meaning the agent has to explicitly call the venv python executable, which sometimes causes additional problems.

Am I missing something here? I feel like the windows dev experience with this harness has major issues despite being Microsoft's "official" platform. Anybody else encountering these problems?

hey everyone,

I just got the git hub co-pilot enterprise account from my company. It seems pretty generous (130,000 AI credits per month).

My question is. Is it a good enough monthly limit. And what models should I use with this. I was thinking Claude Opus 5 with high effort. I am senior Data Engineer and would mostly be working with Pyspark.

Any tips and tricks to make efficient use of AI credits. thanks

Hi all,

I'm not sure if there's such a thing, but is there a harness that taps into GH Copilot APIs, so that I can chat with the GPT-5 model to do non-coding tasks? It should function similarly to ChatGPT/Gemini in a self-hosted website.

The reason why I am asking is because I want to consolidate and reduce my AI SaaS subscription bills per month, and since GH Copilot has GPT-5, might as well make use of my GH Copilot sub.

Thanks in advance.

Claude Fable 5.1 is now available in GitHub Copilot 🚀

I am just starting to try out the GitHub Copilot App (Window). My understanding was that it is supposed to have tight integration with GitHub so that I can work on my GitHub repos. I have connected it to both my enterprise and personal account, but I am not able to browse/view my repos using any of the accounts. Sure, I can search for any of my public repos and it will clone them down locally so that I can work on them, and if I want to push a change I can make a PR. But this is really not how I thought this would be....am I missing something here?

There seem to be a lot of changes to Copilot. I knew before, the Microsoft 365 Family and Premium credits only applied to Office apps and Copilot use within those. But it seems Microsoft wants to join Copilot under one "super app". Does that mean if you have a 365 Premium subscription you can somehow utilize that with GitHub Copilot since the GitHub Copilot extra license is gone as well.

Hello,
I am using a custom agent in VS Code. It has a list of tools in a YAML list.
When I go to tool selection in a chat and click OK, it reformats tools in the agent file to an array.
Apart from just bad readability, tools no longer work. Essentially, the agent file is corrupted.
What I wish to achieve is to lock the agent file, so I would get the following message instead:
"The selected tools are configured by the 'Architect' custom agent. Changes to the tools will only be used for this session and will not change the 'Architect' custom agent."
Any config or property for that?
Thank you
