Like the title says, i keep getting rate limited after just asking a few questions during my coding sessions

I have a PRO account, yet when i look at the output log, it says: sku: free_engaged_oss
(looks fishy)

Any ideas ?
thanks 🙏

PS. I pay for copilot pro, gpt pro, gemini pro, claude pro

.... at the rate im currently getting limited with copilot pro: i might as well just cancel my copilot subscription and use the others, or switch to cursor or something else 🙄

Hi @robert-hoffmann ,

I have a few questions to further diagnose the issue:

• Is this issue observed by a single user or multiple users?
• Can the user restart your IDE and let us know the results?
• Also, can the user sign-out and sign in from the GitHub account on your IDE?

If you're on VSCode:

• In the bottom left corner of the Visual Studio Code window, click the Accounts icon, hover over your GitHub username, and click the Sign out button.
• To reload Visual Studio Code, press F1 to open the command palette, and select Developer: Reload Window.
• After Visual Studio Code reloads, sign back in to your GitHub account and verify the behavior

Thanks!

it's my personal account, i already signed out and in, and even deleted the extension and added it again

i get sku: free_engaged_oss, with a paid pro account

So my main question would already be, what does sku: free_engaged_oss correspond to

I do belong to various organizations, but i always log in with my main account, for which i pay a PRO subscription

[Akash1134]

Thanks! The sku: free_engaged_oss refer to Copilot Free.

Could you please visit your GitHub Copilot settings and ensure the subscription reflects your Pro plan, not the OSS plan.

• Under current plan, you'd see the Copilot Free plan. settings.
• Re-enable Copilot Pro subscription.

Thanks!

Yep

But still

The problem could be related to your account. Please contact GitHub Support team to get further assistance.

I literally can't run AGENT mode because it says I've exhausted it? WTF are you out your damn minds? Charging people to use the feature and then completely blocking me from using this feature? Are you asking to get your asses sued to hell and back, and my money refunded? Is that what you want?

I uninstalled your stupid copilot, and I'm going to be cancelling my membership and contacting my lawyers. You fuckers are way out of line with this one.
