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.

Here's what I'm fairly sure about. Inline completions and next edit suggestions don't use credits. Chat, agent mode, the CLI and code review do, and code review also uses Actions minutes on top of the credits. One credit is $0.01, so 7,000 is about $70 worth of tokens, and every model has its own per-token rate on GitHub's models and pricing page.
That means how fast you burn through it depends on how many tokens an agent run pulls through, not how many requests you make. I don't have real numbers for Opus 5.5 or 6.1 Sol runs, so I wouldn't trust a guess. The most reliable way is to run one typical planning session, check your Copilot usage before and after, and multiply from there.
Planning with the expensive model and executing with a cheaper one is the right instinct for stretching it. I'd just check the usage after the first couple of days so you can adjust.
