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.
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.
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.

Lol, all AI is shifting to this model. Those other companies will bait and switch too just a matter of time.

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
