"As GitHub Copilot continues to rapidly grow, we continue to observe an increase in patterns of high concurrency and intense usage. While we understand this can be driven by legitimate workflows, this type of usage places significant strain on our shared infrastructure and operating resources."
"I use Github Copilot Pro Plus as a hobbyist and frequently spend hundreds of pounds a month on additional credits. I've been frequently receiving short rate limits interrupting the request with no listed countdown, only to try again in X seconds, with X being under 30 seconds or so."
GitHub announced that it will impose usage limits on Copilot customers to reduce strain on its servers and enhance service reliability. This decision follows the discovery of a token counting bug that disrupted the pricing model. The company noted an increase in high concurrency usage patterns, which have affected infrastructure resources. Additionally, GitHub has suspended free trials of Copilot Pro due to abuse and is retiring Anthropic's Opus 4.6 for Pro+ users. Customers have expressed dissatisfaction with unexpected rate limits.
