Hi @gadfly3173 This could be a feature deployment delay, IDE restart might fix this. |

It feels like instead of making Pro+ a better plan, you’ve simply made the Pro plan worse. |

This is my third year using Copilot, but to be honest, while more unnecessary services and features have been introduced, placing a 300-request cap feels quite unfair. Since it doesn’t seem like this change will be rolled back, I’m considering switching to Cursor once my current annual Copilot subscription ends. |

@hayoshii An alternative for me would be to use local models with Ollama + VSCode or Cursor. |

Nothing exciting about this change. Pro plan looks pretty useless from now. I can see the real-time Premium requests and it's not cheap. |

What model should I set, to never worry about this limit ever (until similar announcement) again? |

im using a paid account (100$/year) and when I downloaded the usage report and I saw Unlimited in Total Monthly Quota, does this mean that this feature does not apply to my account so I do not have to worry about running out of requests? |

Crazy how when you guys set that 300 hundred limits, cursor update their pricing plan from 500 hundred request to become unlimited to better align with Claude Code and other LLM providers pricing's. |

I dont like it. Now VS Code for non dev has become less effective. IF you are going to charge to use a LLM, then users should be able to bring their own. |

I run a GitHub Enterprise instance with Copilot for Business enabled. As far as I can tell none of the usage monitoring features are available. Is this by design? This is feeling pretty half-baked at this point - what am I supposed to tell my user base? They just have to guess how many requests they have left? Or are you seriously expecting my team to run a centralised report every time someone asks what their usage is like? If you at least had an API that'd be something, but I see you couldn't even work up the energy to implement that. In case my feedback is not clear here - this is dire. You need to try harder - right now you're just signalling that you are not investing in enterprise users. EDIT: So I see that there is the ability to see this in the IDE - that was not appearing for us straight away this morning but after a restart or two it has started to appear. However, the lack of usage tracking in github.com is still poor, as is the lack of notice for switching this on. |

Hey @matt-buchanan, Thanks for bringing this up! Here's what's currently available for monitoring Copilot usage in your Enterprise setup:
I hear you on wanting better usage monitoring. While these tools don't give you everything you're looking for, the Metrics API probably gets you closest. I'll pass your feedback to our product team about improving individual usage tracking. What specific metrics would be most helpful for your team? Thanks, |

Well, that's a shame. The unlimited nature of Copilot made it very useful. I've been with Copilot since before it launched, but now, I'm looking for alternatives. |

i do believe that after this update many people will think of an alternative. Especially when one other coding assistant just update their policy for unlimited for pro plan. |

It seems completely unfair that they would put such severe limitations on us if we were paying for it. |

I can see the the Quota Usage in the IDE. It currently says 1%, but i don not understand why i need to wait 30 Minutes to see how many Request i made this month. It makes it hard to get a feeling what a typical premium Request uses, compared to the monthly included Requests. I would love to have a absolute count in the IDE and also a overview for last hour, today, last week which is in real time. I also had many Requests aborted, due some errors (mostly with Gemini 2.5 pro, which is the best model in my opinion), do these still count as premium Requests? |

This made my GitHub Copilot subscription completely useless. I'll not renew my subscription and switch to something else. I'm sorry GitHub - I was a huge fan / promoter of the GitHub Copilot Pro plan and I got you a few customers too. I'll make sure all of them cancel their subscription as it's clearly not worth the money anymore. |

Of course GPT 4.1 is the included model... You always have to watch it in agent mode, otherwise, it will stop. At least with Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini, etc. they act as TRUE agents that can work autonomously. I ask him to analyse my project and make detailed documentation, and he provides me a markdown with 40 lines... Im cancelling my Github Copilot Pro subscription to get Claude Max. 👋 |

GitHub Copilot should have a $20 plan that allows 600 premium requests. |

The 300-request limit per month is not enough.

Try the cursor. I recently switched to a cursor. It has a rate limit. Responses take a little longer when you exceed the limit or use a lot of things. However, it doesn't prevent you from using Claude Opus. You can continue using it. |

This is ridiculous. My yearly subscription to Pro renewed last month and I had no idea about these changes. I feel (like many other devs) that the value for your service has now severely decreased. My main reason for getting a subscription at all was that compared to the free plan I had unlimited usage of state-of-the-art models like Claude 4 or Gemini 2.5 Pro, and now this proposition is pretty much gone. I don't care about "unlimited GPT-4.1": that model is almost completely useless in my experience and it is noticeably inferior compared to the rest. I am now going to look for alternatives that grant better value for my money and will then ask for a refund if these changes are not reverted. Very disappointing. |

needs to be 300 PER DAY to be useful. |

The allowances for premium requests are way too low. If a developer is using the tool to its proper potential... they can consume their entire month's allotment in days. Github needs to quickly change course or Copilot will switch from a community favorite to a relic collecting dust. Allowances should be tripled or quadrupled at least. |

It hasn't been 48 hours and .. I guess I'm off to find another solution because GPT 4.1 is crap for my specific needs and refuses to answer half the time. I know, I'll watch the door and my ass on the way out. |

The pro plan seems to be useless now .. 300 premium requests are not at all enough . Its surely going to be exhausted within a few days/ hours |

Wasn't this a Blackmirror episode? I'd really like to be able to leave my house but I guess I have to upgrade to Pro+ first. |

We’re excited to announce [That makes ONE OF US] an update to your GitHub Copilot experience: monthly premium request allowances are now in effect for all paid Copilot plans! This change is designed to increase profits significantly while pissing off our users. |

ALL OF THESE REDUCE YOUR REQUEST CREDITS ACCORDING TO THE MULTIPLIER (up to 50 requests each time):
and you get 300 PER MONTH. not per day. PER MONTH. So you can effectively do one or two days worth of work each month unless you UPGRADE from the piddly PRO subscription to PRO+. Then you can work for 4 days for triple the subscription. I'm done. That's my beef. |
