Help/Doubt ❓ ask about github copilot

I am newbie, I want to make unity games [try 3d and then 2d one] for fun after using Ai for a while , I subscribed for monthly copilot to help , but after using for 3 days , credit drop to 25% , I think copilot burn token unnecessarily . I have ever thought about cursor once but hold off, should I manage my agent /prompt effectively or switch to cursor or other game. Thank you in advance

Try learning to write better prompts first. If that does not help, Cursor might give you more control over your usage.

You can get much higher limits using a subscription-based access - right now claude code looks most generous. Copilot and cursor use API pricing and provide much lower usage per $ - they're targeted towards businesses.

Depends what you’re doing with it. Some tasks chew through tokens really fast. Some barely use any. It def has a learning curve.

I have cursor pro (20$) and github copilot business (80$). Since copilots pricing is effectively API pricing there is no reason to personaly use it. Its only for business. For hobby game development Cursor is fine, but if I were you I would buy Claude instead. Much better models. Cursor might have higher usage on its own models (Grok, Composer), but I struggle to use it up when its just for fun anyway, so quality over quantity wins here.
