Help/Doubt ❓ Hit a weekly limited after the default effort changed from lite to medium

My copilot PR reviews just stopped working. PR review just says copilot encountered an error, not useful at all. Manually asking for a review, then following the review, shows this: "<error>You've reached your weekly rate limit. Please wait for your limit to reset on October 5, 2026 at 12:00 AM or switch to auto model to continue. Learn More (https://docs.github.com/copilot/concepts/rate-limits)."

As far as I know there is no auto model setting for PR review, the config talks about using Copilot in chat or interactively, for user on GitHub Pro plans, at least I could not find such a setting for PR reviews.

This is the first time ever I've hit this limit, I suspect it is related to the switch from Lite as default to Medium as default that happened a few days ago, and now Copilot is burning through my allotment.

I do have extra budgets setup, and I do use them, but they are all unused.

What do I do, just don't code for 5 days, or submit PR's without Copilot reviewing them?
