> I use GitHub Copilot Pro+ because this was my main requirement as well.
Frankly, i do not even get how people run out of 1500 requests. For a heavy coding session, my max is around 45 requests per day, and that means a ton of code / alterations and some wasted on fluff mini changes. Most days is barely in the 10 a 20.
I noticed that you can really eat your requests if you just do not care to switch models for small tasks, or constantly do edit/ask. When you rely on agent mode, it can edit multiple files at the same time, so your always saving tokens vs doing it yourself manually.
To be honest, i wish that Copilot had a 600 token version, instead of the massive jump to 1500. Other option is to just use the pay per request.
* Cheapest is Pro+, 1500 requests , year paid, at around 1.8cent / request
* The 300 requests Pro, year paid is around 2.4cent / request.
* The overflow tokens (so without subscription) is at 4 cent / request.
Note: The Pro and Pro+ prices assume you use 100% of you tokens. If you only use 700 tokens on the Pro+, your paying the same as the overflow 4 cent / request one.
So ironically, you are actually cheaper with a Pro (300 requests ) subscription, for the first 300, and then paying 4 cent / request between your 301 ~ 700...

Same here. Well, 900 would be a good middle option for me as well. I was switching to the unlimited model for the simple things, but since I don't use all of the premium allotment I started just leaving it on the one that is working best for the job that day.
I guess part of the "value" of Pro+ is the extra "Spark" credits of which I have zero use for. But I simply wanted something that integrated into my ecosystem instead of having to add to/or change it. Also did not want to have to think about how many pennies I'm using (I appreciate that breakdown though! good to know) -- I'll pay a reasonable convenience tax for my time and mental space of not having to babysit usage.
