I'm hitting the same issue. The extension prompts the weekly rate limit will reset in minutes (e.g. "You've reached your weekly rate limit. Please upgrade your plan or wait for your limit to reset on April 15, 2026 at 10:49 PM"), which is true, the agent processes a small amount of tokens, only to block productivity again. Seems like there is some disconnect between billing and development departments, caused by a panic ad-hoc implementation demand. |

The issues been happening for a few days now and has gotten so bad that The Register has written an article on it. More people with the same problem: I highly recommended updating us on the status of your rate limit (whether it has been fixed or not) every couple of hours to make sure this problem is visible enough to the people who need to see it. |

If yall are having issues with anthrophic-based models, there's no answer for these guys. It's better to leverage a different provider like OpenAI models or Moonshot AI kimi models. Affordable and less downtime. |

Unfortunatly it concerns all models. Like the global rate limit issue from earlier |

Yeah, this is a known issue on Copilot, unfortunately. Best way is to pivot to claude or codex extension for dev work. |

I've given up on using Copilot after so many problems. It's astonishing how something new happens every month that makes it hard to work, even though I'm paying for it. I decided to switch to Claude Code Max for about $200, and literally all my problems are solved. It sounds like a generic sales pitch, but it's true: goodbye rate limits, goodbye problems with a specific AI model being in high demand, and on top of that, better code quality. |

Keeping all of this buried in forum threads helps no one. More people should share their screenshots and experiences on X and LinkedIn so this issue gets proper visibility. Paid users deserve transparent limits and consistent communication. #FixCopilotLimits |

Dear GitHub Support Team, I am reaching out as a paying GitHub user to express my frustration regarding the rate limits that I recently encountered. While I understand the need for rate limits to ensure platform stability, I find it disappointing and confusing that such restrictive limits apply to paid members. As someone who subscribes to your services with the expectation of reliable, premium features, hitting a 429 βToo Many Requestsβ error and having to wait a full day before being able to continue my work feels like a penalty for using the platform as intended. Being subjected to the same or very similar restrictions as free-tier users undermines the value proposition of being a paying member. This situation raises significant concerns about the scalability and infrastructure supporting GitHub. As a paying customer, I expect fair and transparent limits that are clearly communicated upfront, not restrictions that interfere with daily workflows. It feels like GitHub prioritizes controlling usage over improving infrastructure to better support loyal subscribers. I believe issues like this could be addressed with:
I value GitHubβs services but strongly recommend reviewing how restrictions like this are applied to paying members. As someone who supports the platform financially, I expect my experience to reflect that, without feeling penalized for using the service Iβm paying for. I would appreciate clarification on the specific limits for paid members and whether there is a path to more flexibility for cases like mine. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response. |

Iβve been getting these messages since yesterday. Iβm using Copilot exactly as I always have and have never had issues like this until now. Interestingly, previous messages suggested I switch to 'Auto' mode, which I did, and it works perfectly. The strange part is that while 'Auto' usually selects Sonnet 4.6 for my prompts without any trouble, the moment I try to select that same model (or others like Opus 4.6 or GPT 5.4) manually, Iβm instantly told to 'upgrade my plan.' Upgrade to what? Iβm already a Pro+ subscriber. I even checked the plans page thinking a $100+ 'Max' tier had been released, but Pro+ is still the highest option available. |

we all should be getting reimbursed for any wasted tokens used for

I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I just got charged $39 by Copilot an hour ago. I thought maybe my subscription had ended, which would explain the weekly rate limit. But surpriseβI got home, tried to use it, and I'm STILL rate-limited. So what the hell am I paying $39 for? This is highway robbery. How do I request a refund? |

When I opened support.github.com to submit a new ticket, a virtual assistant popped up asking if I wanted a refund. I guess GitHub does have some self-awareness about this. But I have zero intention of forgiving them. I feel like my money was stolen, and I will NEVER use Copilot again π. |

Every business /service provider should transparent to their customer. As per their below article/notes, its intentional and anytime GitHub can enforce such limitation on every users. This justifies why should users leave GitHub for better/transparent providers. This is not coincidental that yesterday sudden over usage(60x) spike which GitHub later claimed that 'UI bug', and I believe this weekly rate limit enforced very recently, when their strategy didn't work. " For Copilot Pro+, GitHub does not publish an exact numeric βweekly request countβ for rate limits. Thatβs intentional. Weekly (and global) rate limits are serviceβlevel protections, not fixed quotas you can track like premium requests. " |

It's not a bug. It their deliberate attempt to earn by limiting top tier model usage, and routing via low cost/low usage within their tie up. They already have multiplier x3, x7.5, x30 which they never inform its users, daily, monthly and now weekly limit. |

I got rate-limited for 32 hours, during normal work, paying for each request (above the sub quota). |

I was blocked until 00:00 today, it's now 8:44 AM. I sent a /plan command to Opus 4.7, it created the plan, and immediately afterwards I received another message saying I've reached my weekly limit and can only use it again today at 8:59 PM, but the 'auto' selection is working. Note: I have the Pro+ plan. |

Yes, it is reported by user they blocked those high context models. For Auto, but I am not buying subscription for Auto for god sake! |

What's going on with Pro+? I haven't even reached the end of my subscription period, and I have plenty of budget, yet they still limit my weekly speed. It's really getting worse and worse! |

I think he's just going off the suggestion they give but vaguely explained. Auto doesn't use the premium AI's exclusively it does seem to pick a preference per prompt. So maybe it's based off context and session parameters as to what models they use in it. Im guessing of course. Anyway, mine has been swapping between sonnet and 5.3-4. I'm sure you all are using skills and stuff so maybe all that can play a role in the overall experience and context situation too. Anyway, still no excuse for this going on for a week now. I know some of you have more intense things you're trying to offload so I can only imagine the frustration. Supposedly my official rate limit ends tonight so I can see what actually happens but from my experience and you all, ill probably stay on auto and switch between claude and codex until I decide to pay for a more all inclusive situation again. |

I suspect there is a serious bug within their system, so they are using this as an excuse to restrict our usage. |

BUGS? Nah, ripped us off, I think so. I saw some user used 15% or 20% still got limited. That's sucks |

Got this weekly rate limit error also. First time. Upgraded from Pro to Pro+ as it explicitly states: "Please upgrade your plan or wait". As I didn't want to wait I upgraded my plan. The error is still there though. So now I'm paying more for the same thing. :-( I filed a ticket. Anybody any suggestions? Is the server not resetting? I tried logging out/in but that didn't have any effect. |

So many users have been affected by this, the official should provide appropriate compensation, otherwise a portion of users will be lost. We need to stand up for our rights together. |

Same issue. Fix your broken subscription service Github Copilot Team, please and thanks. I've not even used 40% of my limit and can't use what I paid for days, how is this even legal? Has there been any official response other than canned responses to tickets? |

Copilot in GitHub
Body
Hi Copilot team
I have been using GH copilot for quite some time and never experienced heavy ratelimiting. However, today, after a short network disconnect and switch between Wifi ad mobile hotspot, I got rate limited directly and the limit seems to persist with a new time on each try.
Can you inform me what the problem is here, if this might be an issue on the GH side or how I can avoid getting rate limited like this?
Many thanks
