Ask HN: Unexplainable Copilot Premium Requests
I'm on a Copilot Pro+ plan, in order to give Copilot Agent a try. GitHub's new Copilot Premium Request pricing has taken effect today, and when I'm looking at my usage, I'm seeing a lot of inexplicable Copilot Premium Requests - we're talking about 2 per minut, specifically to the Padawan model - without me actually doing anything with Copilot, much less with Copilot Agent. I've even gone so far as to revoke access to the Github SWE Agent application, and still the requests keep rolling in.
For some reason, the requests also aren't showing up in the web interface under Metered usage, I have to download the "Copilot premium requests usage report" to even see them.
Considering Github charges 4 cents per request for overages, this adds up fast, especially considering it's doing nothing. It's especially troublesome that (at least with a Pro+ account), there's no way of enforcing a Budget on Copilot Premium Requests - it's just not available in the Budget section.
Am I the only one seeing this, or is this affecting other people with Copilot Agent as well?
4 cents per request adds up real quick when it's doing stuff you didn't even ask for. Have you tried disabling the GitHub integration entirely? Wondering if that's what's triggering the phantom requests.
No one here will be able to help you with a SaaS application even if any of us is experiencing the same thing. This is a question to a customer support representative, not to HN.
