I've been using it for well over a year now.
Hit my limit in 1 day and canceled.
Yup, same. x57 for GPT 5.5 now?! The GitHub agent architecture was hot as hell and allowed me to work on projects without ever bootstrapping it locally, but there is no way I'm gonna get sucked into spending hundreds a month. It felt good seeing that $250 refund come through for my yearly plan. I'll take those funds to Claude or Codex directly. Throttled usage is way better than being fucked over by a glorified reseller.
Lol, all AI is shifting to this model. Those other companies will bait and switch too just a matter of time.
Yeah I don't doubt that anthropic is burning money so fast right now. It's actually wild to see, GitHub's pricing might actually be the first glimpse of real pricing for AI we're seeing.
The company with all money all phones all email all calendars and meetings and satellites and shit will probably not.
It's too bad their models are also all garbage, or I'd be on that Google AI train. They're desperately trying to stay relevant in a space they should be owning in the first place. You plant shit seeds, you get shit weeds. Even if the models were good, their track record shows it's not worth the time investment adopting their stack because chances are it ends up in the infamous graveyard within 3-5 years.
I look forward to seeing the follow up comment where you do the same with one of those when they inevitably do the same
They'll throttle you more - it's just different way of gouging price
Perhaps, but at least I'm not being charged for each attempt at doing work besides my time in the attempt. Copilot would bug out and that cost me usage credits. Borderline stealing from its users paying for limited credits per month.
