The free lunch that was smashing GitHub Copilot’s premium models with unlimited requests is over and rate limits are coming in May. Any requests not hitting the base model (currently: OpenAI GPT-4o) are considered premium, so Sonnet, Gemini, o1 etc. The rate limits are as follows:

Copilot Free: 50/month
Copilot Pro: 300/month
Copilot Pro+ 1500/month
Copilot Business: 300/month
Copilot Enterprise: 1000/month

The premium models also have a rate multiplier where for example Claude Sonnet 3.5/3.7 have a rate mulitplier of 1, and o1 and GPT-4.5 have a rate multiplier of 10 and 50 respectively.

The news comes with an announcement of the GitHub Copilot Pro+ plan, a new individual tier priced at 39USD/month with 1500 requests/month to premium models.
