I cannot describe how disappointing it is to be switching to this insane time limit window based pricing. I absolutely abhor that I'll be subjected to 5 hour chunks of time where I'll be limited at some point in that window of time, and be told I'll have to wait. And then there is a weekly limit.

That's not how my creative energy works. I have time that I want to solve problems, and I want to solve them. I don't want a cooldown timer applied to solving a problem. Not to mention the anxiety of realizing that while I sleep I could have burned tokens in that time.

I'm incredibly disappointed when I sat down to my hobbyist programming time and realized copilot was suddenly and dramatically changed in a way that is incredibly disheartening.

Meter my token usage DON'T tell me when I can use them! ARGH.

  The actions we are taking today enable us to provide the best possible experience for existing users while we develop a more sustainable solution.

Worst part is them doing this mid-billing cycle and not at the start of the next in 11 days. I cancelled and requested a refund.

Microslop, 'xcuse me, Microsoft is working hard to make github less and less appealing. It's a bit weird how an initially fairly good idea, over time becomes ... worse.

I'm not surprised at all. This was one of the most generous plans out there, offering frankly ridiculous pricing based on a single prompt regardless of turns taken or tokens used. I was subscribed for a month around Christmas and got a shitload of tokens out of Opus 4.5 for a measly $10.

I saw some Reddit rumours going around and locked myself into the yearly Pro+

I guess overall probably was a good decision.

But 7.5x as well as quota limits is pretty hard to swallow.

The annoying thing about the quota limits is they make it really awkward to actually fully utilize the 1500 premium requests you are paying for.

Like if you don’t plan working around the daily and weekly quotas you may not actually be able to utilize your full request allocation.

Claude has the same issue. Single session blows through the quota.

It's quite cheap at $10 at 1000 premium requests (1 request is like a plan mode + implementation + tests + commit & push). The only problem is I have already used it all, but was billed on the 3rd day of the month, and have to wait till next month to use it.

So much for using my secondary Copilot plan with VSCode to hammer Opus 4.6 on a per-request basis.

The joke is on them, though (maybe) because this also means that there's literally no reason to keep that account active.

I have Copilot Pro+ and discovered i cannot use Opus anymore today! Are we reaching the end of VC funded productivity?

Oh nuts, I forgot I was on Copilot. I used to use it for auto-complete and so on. I haven't used it in over a year and I'm still paying for it. If you're like me you'll find it here: https://github.com/settings/billing/licensing

And you can then cancel it. I have no idea what a premium request is and it's all just too complicated to use.

Removing access to opus is pretty funny. At least they recognize it’s unacceptable and tell you to go get a refund.

The per-request model was pretty insane.
