Burned through 50+% of my monthly quota today using Sonnet 4.6, after starting the day at 0%. Only used it on an average daily workload, same as what I'd done all last month, and I used maybe 52% throughout all of May.

I don't really care all that much, because my employer is the one paying for Copilot & wants us all using it. Personally, I think it sucks: the tooling is inconsistent across VSCode and Visual Studio, Microsoft caps the context window of Sonnet 4.6 at 200k even though it's capable of 1M, & at this price point there's almost certainly better ways of getting the same results from other models via other CLIs or plugins.

I was told we're moving off Copilot and over to Claude desktop sometime this week.

Burned trough 30% of our included credits yesterday, while intentionally attempting to use less.

Copilot for Visual Studio is just bad. How can something as simple as automatically including selected code in the query not be possible? lol. And the diffing feature always breaks. I just gave up in the end.
