Good thing I had just finished migrating all of my workflows to OpenCode for the time being!

It's a shame because the VsCode copilot experience is quite good out of the box compared to all of the other harnesses I've used. But with typical lack of transparency, and sudden, harsh changes... What are they thinking?

After the restrictive rate limiting they've already instituted, I'm simply cancelling and continuing by using providers directly.

Which providers do you use ? I find copilot's prices pretty hard to beat, but if there's something better I'll cancel too.

Without access to Opus, it seems to me that the limited context size you get isn't worth the subsidy, especially once you blow through the included requests, the cost seems kind of hard to predict because it's 'request' based not token based.

I just opted for ChatGPT Pro; I'm trying to take advantage of the increased usage limits they are offering, and from what I heard, Claude Pro was also having bad rate limiting for many people.


I've been happy with GLM 5.1

Which service provides this one for a decent cost ?

Someone else in another thread mentioned OpenCode, which looks neat at £10/mo: https://opencode.ai/go

Ah good catch. I like their CLI too. Though sometimes it feels like they take security a bit too loosely

they don't restrict you to using their opencode agent, you can use go in any other agent
