No other provider works like Copilot did with "premium requests". Usage limits (Codex/Claude Code), which are inherently linked to tokens, are the most common. Some providers like Amp charge you per-token like Copilot is moving to.

Microsoft's previous model was not linked to tokens at all. Complete anomaly among coding agent providers. It's not representative of token economics at large. Claude Code recently announced increased limits. Codex does regular limit refreshes.

Tokens are pretty damn abundant even though they're not bargain basement cheap yet.
