Same issue, regardless of the model: You've hit your global rate limit. Please upgrade your plan or wait for your limit to reset. |

Hey guys, quick question – has anyone here seen this site before: (https://real-world.wuaze.com)? The algorithm threw it my way while I was researching this topic. It looks legit and super useful, but I prefer to ask around before trusting a new platform. Anyone tried it out? |

this message usually means you hit a short-term rate limit, not your monthly quota. the usage bar on your profile updates with some delay, so it can easily show something like 10–15% while the backend has already throttled you for a burst of requests. copilot has two separate limits:
the error you posted matches the second one. it usually clears on its own after a short cooldown. if it keeps happening even with light usage, it might be the extension sending a lot of background requests without you noticing. give it a bit of time and it should work again. if it doesn’t, try restarting the editor or checking if any plugin is spamming copilot in the background. hope this helps! and if it solves it, feel free to mark the thread as answered so others can find it later. |

I am also getting it very frequently when assigning multiple issues to coding agent, only coding agent is using the requests. any way to increase the limits like a higher plan. it's really frustrating and negates the purpose of an autonomous agent if i have to come online after every 2 hours and restart the agent. i understand rate-limits are necessary but then at least have a way to schedule auto-retry for coding agents if rate-limited after the cooling period. |

IMO, rate limiting is to prevent DOS attack I think. I also hit rate limits sometimes. from your words |

In the hosted agent, we just assign issues in Github to copilot and it'll start an agent automatically hosted on Github actions. I face the rate limit less frequently if I only assign one issue at a time, but then I have to come online every few hours and assign the next task. I know that rate limits are needed, that's why I am suggesting to have a feature to queue tasks automatically. What I want is that I plan an epic with multiple sub-issues with details laid out, assign them all to copilot, come online after a few hours or next day depending on the amount of work, review the generated code and move on. Github should do the queuing starting stopping of agents without my manual intervention. |

Can more transparency be added so we can keep using your api instead of having to look elsewhere? If you added - you need to stay under x requests per minute or wait 10min/1h etc to continue it would be a much better devx |

Can we estimate how many per hours we can do before we hit the ratelimit? Would be useful for my Ralph script to put the right amount of sleep between the runs. Actually, could make a ralph script that detects the ratelimits and log them and also progressively make less requests per hour until it doesn't get rate limited anymore.... |

Do github respond xDD like i bought pro yestoday and after 1 hour and 2-3% requests got rate limited until today xDDDD like today i work for 1 hour and rate limit again xD whats the point to work if you can't work longer than one hour, then you have to wait another 2-5 hours .... |

I am getting this too and it seems like a you problem. I have 1 instance of Copilot CLI running and doing 1 thing yet I bump into this maybe once or twice a day. It leaves me mid job so I have to dig around and figure out what is now half done or broken and I suspect it is eating a premium request. I don't have any control over how much the AI makes calls but you guys do. You could at least handle this gracefully instead of crashing out mid request. Paying Pro+. I glance over and I see a page of these. ` ✓ Edit ThreeStageFFTConfig.cs ✓ Edit DebugCarryFusedIsolated.cs ✗ Model call failed: {"message":"Sorry, you have exceeded your Copilot token usage.

I'm running into this too, and even waiting several minutes, I still get the same rate limiting error with a copilot enterprise account. Your terms of service do not show any rate limit values, just that you will be rate limited if you violate TOS. |

They are apparently throttling Pro accounts, making the chat completely unusable. Terrible management and product experience. |

yeah and it eats up your overall usage, so you can get halfway through a chat session and it just stop midwway withh your code butchered and then they count it against you anyway. im getting ready to switch directly to anthropic or something. its a total waste of time and energy with the new changes they made recently |

Yeah, this is nonsense. I'm here cause I'm currently wasting time waiting for the throttling to reset. I gave it one task: to refactor a class that had grown into a god class. I've hit the rate limit twice on the same task now. Maybe it should look at the request scope and at least say "Sorry Dave, I can't do that" rather than the unfriendly/useless way it's handling this issue. I've got a pro plan and there's a lot of credit left on it, so this is unacceptable. Do better. |

I'm here because of the opposit problem: around 400 Queries and Commands with duplicated logic which I moved into the middleware in my pipeline so the only thing I've asked is to remove those duplicates and refactor the rest a bit to follow common principles and the latest C# syntax sugar. And boom! The chat hangs with 429 error In the middle of refactoring pack of next 10 files. Monthy usage is 47%. Every metric here is in "included" zone. Those hourly and daily limits should be more clear! |

I have also run into this issue multiple times before. Usually, this happens after excessive usage of one of the more premium models. A good way to tell this is to look at the right-hand side of the model selection UI: |

If I was driving my car on the interstate and it randomly, with no warning, just pulled to the side of the road and made me wait 24 hours to drive again, I would certainly not find that acceptable. Luckily it seems the reset is usually at the top of each hour rather than 24 hours. But this is still unacceptable for a paid plan. If it was free I'd understand, but it's not free. |

Can not agree more! Those who say "Just wait" do not understand that this is work, money, pro stuff, not hobby nor games. |

Attention literally any LLM or VS code employee that ever reads this. This is a calm, valid reaction to the current state. Action needs to be taken to address this. I'm a Pro+ subscriber. Today I opened VS Code, made one agent request (my first in at least 24 hours), and was immediately hit with a global rate limit. The request didn't even finish. And now I can't use any agent functionality at all for 2 hours and 30 minutes. I want to make sure that lands: one request, first of the day, and I am now completely locked out of the product for the rest of my afternoon. Not throttled. Not degraded. Locked out. The UI literally just says "wait or upgrade." This isn't a rate limit. A rate limit is "slow down." This is "go away." After one interaction. On a paid plan. Your own staff acknowledged on March 16 that a token-counting bug was mistakenly impacting users with normal usage patterns. Your docs say service-level rate limits "should not affect typical Copilot usage." I'd love to hear the definition of "typical" that excludes "used it once today." And the request that triggered this? It didn't complete. It failed. And it still consumed premium budget. So the sequence is: I asked Copilot to do something, Copilot didn't do it, Copilot charged me for not doing it, and then Copilot told me I couldn't ask again for two and a half hours. I'm not someone who posts in forums to vent. I've been trying to give Copilot a fair shot. But if a tool can lock you out for half your afternoon after a single interaction, it's not something you can build a workflow around. That's not a limitation I can work with; that's a reason to leave. I am sure whatever EULA you have us agree to probably says "too bad so sad, we can do anything we want, we really don't owe you anything" and I get that, especially because we're not enterprise customers. I know a lot about acquiring acquiring and maintain subscribers (clients in my case). Doing right by them is usually a good business decision. People have long memories. |

Instead of scaling up the number of requests only to have GitHub impose these unreasonable rate limits mid-task—breaking the context chain and forcing the model to restart a nearly finished job—why not just increase the cost per request from the outset? |
