Copilot code review reports quota limit while premium credits remain

Copilot in GitHub

Body

Copilot code review refuses with a quota-limit message even though the same account still has premium credits remaining. The refusal does not consume those credits.

Account

• Login: ITSGJY
• Plan fields from the Copilot user payload: copilot_plan=individual, access_type_sku=free_educational_quota
• overage_permitted=false

What happened

On yyjeqhc/webcodex#666 I requested a Copilot review twice. Both reviews are from copilot-pull-request-reviewer and contain only:

Copilot was unable to review this pull request because the user who requested the review has reached their quota limit.

Requested (UTC)	Review posted (UTC)
2026-09-24 22:27:51	2026-09-24 22:27:57
2026-09-24 22:29:57	2026-09-24 22:30:02

There are no inline review comments. The pull request is 25 files, +938 / −28. The timeline shows both requests were made by ITSGJY, so the message is about this account, not the repository owner.

Quota after the refusals

At 2026-09-24T22:42:00Z, after both refusals, GET /copilot_internal/user for this account still reported:

• premium_interactions.entitlement: 200
• premium_interactions.credits_used: 127
• premium_interactions.quota_remaining: 72.6
• premium_interactions.percent_remaining: 36.3
• premium_interactions.remaining: 72
• premium_interactions.has_quota: true
• premium_interactions.unlimited: false
• premium_interactions.overage_count: 0
• chat and completions: unlimited

September billing usage for this account lists Copilot AI Credits quantity 127.36, which matches credits_used, not an exhausted allowance. The two refusals did not reduce quota_remaining.

That payload only has chat, completions, and premium_interactions. There is no separate code-review counter. The code-review documentation says each review spends AI credits, a manual request is billed to the person who asked, and exhausting a credit budget blocks code review together with other credit-consuming features. That does not match a refusal while 72.6 credits remain and the other counters are untouched.

Expected

Either the review runs and deducts credits, or the quota message names a counter that is actually exhausted. Here the review service and the account usage snapshot disagree.
