What should I do now? I've been restricted. The tokens I bought with my payment are not free ones. During the normal coding process, it was directly stopped. I think you should lift the restrictions. Otherwise, what's the point of overpaying?

Try to use auto mode

[patrykszady]

Seems to work in VS Code. Has anyone been able to reach Github to report the issue?

[SidStraw]

I'm a GitHub Copilot Pro+ user

I just woke up and started my workday, and I’ve already triggered the usage limit.

I only sent two extremely small requests:

1. Debugging a single console error.
2. Fixing one failing unit test.

That’s it. Both were minor tasks.

[dougkl]

Same here =/ Pro+ few requests today
