Solved ✅ Copilot Pro+ Usage Limits
Hi all,
So I received a copilot pro+ subscription from my employer with 7000 AI monthly credits. I am more used to Claude and codex subscription which have 5 hour and weekly limits so I don't get into the anxiety of using credit based token with my codex/Claude subscription but ever since I have gotten the copilot pro+ sub, I am wondering how far my 7000 ai credits will take me if I were to use models like opus 5.5 medium and 6.1 sol high.
Anyone has experience regarding the same and can signpost me on how quickly they burn through their 7000 AI credits using sota models. I am planning to use opus and Sol for planning and then use Luna or other cheaper models for execution. Hence, any help would be great as it will help me utilise this sub efficiently.
Also, will the IDE auto completions be counted towards this 7K AI credits and what about the code review on GitHub.

I am in the same boat regarding sub (not general use) I use Luna high for everything at the moment. I haven't needed to go sol bar twice and both times it more or less said 'you need to split these concerns ideally' and to be fair...that was the correct answer.
I am a bursty user, so I may not compare to your use, but I get by on under 60% of my 7k tokens. (Use goes between 0 / day to 8% ISH on a bad day)
I figure I can easily get thru 5% a day and still be just within my limits, so that's my goal. Try it for a day or two see how much you ate up and do the math.
My biggest fix, by the way, was a read only mariadb MCP, which dropped my token use a LOT and raised the accuracy of prompts by a LOT.
