Copilot in GitHub

Body

Just coded a simple web app and used up 50% of my monthly quota and ran out. The new plan quotas are ridiculous. Can't get anything useful done.

Yeah, the new Copilot quotas can feel pretty tight, especially if you’re doing active iteration on a project in one sitting. A lot of people are running into this when they’re debugging or prototyping since usage spikes fast with repeated prompts. It might help to be more selective with prompts or batch questions instead of small back-and-forth requests. Otherwise, you may want to review if a higher tier actually matches your workflow, because the free/low tiers don’t stretch far for real development work.
