I am using GitHub Copilot Enterprise in Visual Studio Code and noticed that the code summarization feature consumes an unexpectedly high number of premium requests.

A single "Generate copilot summary" action typically uses around 30 premium requests, which seems excessive for one operation. And no option to control model or context size.
