Here’s a guide to help you understand the limits, behaviors, and troubleshooting steps for GitHub Copilot Free.
Limits and What Happens When You Reach Them
- Completions Limit Reached
• What happens: Copilot will no longer provide completions and will fallback to IntelliCode suggestions. This is likely why you are receiving shorter and less contextual suggestions. Copilot will still appear "active" (the badge status will be green).
- Chat Limit Reached
• What happens: The chat interface might seem unresponsive, when providing you a response and hanging on generating a response. Copilot will still appear "active" (the badge status will be green).
- Both Limits Reached
• What happens: Copilot will no longer provide completions and will fallback to IntelliCode suggestions. This is likely why you are receiving shorter and less contextual suggestions. The chat interface might seem unresponsive, when providing you a response and hanging on generating a response. Copilot will still appear "active" (the badge status will be green).
There will be improvements to this in January, stay updated with the latest Visual Studio version for the improvements
I sent a chat request and got no response, it hung for a while.
