I'm hitting the same issue. The extension prompts the weekly rate limit will reset in minutes (e.g. "You've reached your weekly rate limit. Please upgrade your plan or wait for your limit to reset on April 15, 2026 at 10:49 PM"), which is true, the agent processes a small amount of tokens, only to block productivity again. Seems like there is some disconnect between billing and development departments, caused by a panic ad-hoc implementation demand. |

The issues been happening for a few days now and has gotten so bad that The Register has written an article on it. More people with the same problem: I highly recommended updating us on the status of your rate limit (whether it has been fixed or not) every couple of hours to make sure this problem is visible enough to the people who need to see it. |

If yall are having issues with anthrophic-based models, there's no answer for these guys. It's better to leverage a different provider like OpenAI models or Moonshot AI kimi models. Affordable and less downtime. |

Keeping all of this buried in forum threads helps no one. More people should share their screenshots and experiences on X and LinkedIn so this issue gets proper visibility. Paid users deserve transparent limits and consistent communication. #FixCopilotLimits |

Dear GitHub Support Team, I am reaching out as a paying GitHub user to express my frustration regarding the rate limits that I recently encountered. While I understand the need for rate limits to ensure platform stability, I find it disappointing and confusing that such restrictive limits apply to paid members. As someone who subscribes to your services with the expectation of reliable, premium features, hitting a 429 “Too Many Requests” error and having to wait a full day before being able to continue my work feels like a penalty for using the platform as intended. Being subjected to the same or very similar restrictions as free-tier users undermines the value proposition of being a paying member. This situation raises significant concerns about the scalability and infrastructure supporting GitHub. As a paying customer, I expect fair and transparent limits that are clearly communicated upfront, not restrictions that interfere with daily workflows. It feels like GitHub prioritizes controlling usage over improving infrastructure to better support loyal subscribers. I believe issues like this could be addressed with:
I value GitHub’s services but strongly recommend reviewing how restrictions like this are applied to paying members. As someone who supports the platform financially, I expect my experience to reflect that, without feeling penalized for using the service I’m paying for. I would appreciate clarification on the specific limits for paid members and whether there is a path to more flexibility for cases like mine. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response. |

we all should be getting reimbursed for any wasted tokens used for
requests that never went through because of these crashes.

I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I just got charged $39 by Copilot an hour ago. I thought maybe my subscription had ended, which would explain the weekly rate limit. But surprise—I got home, tried to use it, and I'm STILL rate-limited. So what the hell am I paying $39 for? This is highway robbery. How do I request a refund? |

Happend to me just now.. and I'm paying more than $240 monthly. |

Blocked here too. What is going on? We pay for this service. Monthly limits exist — fine, we top up when needed. That works. So why are weekly limits being added on top of that? Nobody asked for this, nobody agreed to this. Paying users are being locked out of a service they're actively paying for. That's unacceptable. |

wow! so it's not 'just me' - FWIW - I have two subscriptions - for 1/2 the day, it worked fine - then first 'rate limit' kicks in. so I switch to 2nd subscription. cunning plan? not really - the 2nd sub rate limits almost immediately. at least show me a number - my "premium requests" are 18% and 3% - clearly this means nothing. I'm assuming we'd be understanding if it was transparent so we could manage resources / plan around it. Anyways, I feel better now :-) |

What does help to avoid the rate limiting error message is choicing 'Auto' as the model. This will randomly pick between GTP 5.3 codex or GPT 5.4 or Claude sonnet 4.6 etc. but with lower reasoning. So you cannot pick your desired model due to this rate limiting bug |

This is absurd, I have a Pro+ account and a run over budget set that it's not even close to hitting and its just constantly sending me "You've reached your weekly rate limit. Please upgrade your plan or wait for your limit to reset on April 19, 2026 at 5:00 PM." as well. Got the same BS canned response when reaching out to Github as well. Why do we even have a roll over budget if we cant use it?? |

Why should we the paying subscribers do a workaround for a service that is broken? The only workaround i can think of right now is find a different service provider. The Github providers are stalling and they know what they are doing. Sent from my iPhoneOn Apr 18, 2026, at 11:57 AM, UncleMonky ***@***.***> wrote:

I got hit with this now. Turned on Auto .. the reasoning is just absolutely mind-blowingly ... bad. The code looks like trash, and it just keep circling back making the same bugs after a couple of turns. Swithing to planning mode gave .. Haiku?!?! This basically makes it unusable. I can't believe I pay 2-300USD per month for this crap. I also think I will file a legal complain that they don't tell us their limits in advance or on request. I hope I get a refund so I can transfer over to Anthropic. |

Copilot in GitHub

Hi Copilot team
I have been using GH copilot for quite some time and never experienced heavy ratelimiting. However, today, after a short network disconnect and switch between Wifi ad mobile hotspot, I got rate limited directly and the limit seems to persist with a new time on each try.
Can you inform me what the problem is here, if this might be an issue on the GH side or how I can avoid getting rate limited like this?
Many thanks
