I've been having an awful time with Copilot recently. Consistent user of the highest plan and I'm suddenly hit with "weekly" rate limits that are days at a time.

The new rate limit system is completely broken. See https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/180092 for a lot of affected users.

Some report wait times of 50 or 100 hours. I had the issue that it shows "wait 20 seconds" but (on retry) it counts down one second every 10-20 seconds.

And all this for a service where you pay per use.

and here too. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/192435

I've been forced to use the unpredictable "auto" mode that chooses GPT 5.4 nine times out of ten. It's incredibly frustrating that they're saying that what amounts to random selective outages is intended behaviour.

I was given 44 hours. Hopefully enough users are affected that somebody higher up tells them to quit it.

Anthropic are also looking at removing Claude Code from their pro subscription. Will only be included at their $100/m and up packages. Looks like these AI companies are starting to realise they have to actually be profitable at some point and can't just rely on hype and investment forever.
