Looks good, but after pricing change I have already used 26% this month with very light usage.

Last month I used Copilot heavily, much much more than I usually do, but did not manage to use more than 58%.

Forced me to switch to OpenCode Go (not Zen), which isn't quite as nice as Copilot Chat deeply integrated into VSCode / Intelli but the models (DeepSeek v4 Pro, GLM 5.1, & Qwen 3.7 Max) are able replacements for Claude Sonnet 4.x / GPT 5.x while being way cheaper (especially DeepSeek).

We had settled on Copilot's Sonnet 4.6 which incidentally is one of the models that got shanked in the pricing update.

Easily 7x or more for what amounts to self–serving work. At this point, we might just switch to 4.8 Opus.

Honestly, I would not spend a cent of my own money on a model that won't run on my PC, but still I feel like this is the end of this Microsoft product I hadn't used a month ago. We'll see if our sugar daddies keep funding it.

Use less effort and thus tokens.

I swear I did few tests and it's rare you need more than medium on mundane job work.

1 day and 26% of usage? wildly inflated!
