Requests are such a weird metric. We have a token limit via Copilot (unless I'm misunderstanding our setup), and most of my "features" burn 1 to 2% of my token limit per month on 4.7. But I don't admin our plan, and I'm unsure what we actually git. Vscode just gives me a percentage of tokens remaining metric.

One of the weirder things about all this is how arbitrary and non objective the billing structure seems. One of the reasons I'm happy to use it at work, but won't ever personally subscribe. It's so opaque.

Copilot is currently based on requests (1 prompt = 1 request, with multipliers for different models). At the beginning of June the billing structure will change to just be normal API cost. Your features are going to start burning 10-20% of your token limit using 4.7
