i recently signed up for a paid plan which, until just now, has worked well from inside of VS Code. But, i'm just sitting down to start code, and i got this response on my first prompts. I'd been away from my machine for at least 10 hours, and so the "rate limit" assertion seems misguided.

Edit: in my case the problem appears temporary. i only got the "rate limit" response for a few minutes.

Yes, getting lots of rate limit messages the last couple of days on my paid subscription, and i'm not using it heavily. Only seems to affect 'chat' style interactions in the vscode sidebar or in the editor using CTRL+I, as opposed to code 'completions' in the editor which seem unaffected.

Me too...

This is happening to me today. I pay for the Business Co-Pilot not on the free version and I haven't done much of anything differently today than any other day and it jsut start throttling me for what seems like no apparent reason. Any ideas as to why this happens randomly?

@JimNayzium Just happened for me. I also have a paid version. Tried restarting vscode, open a new chat but no luck. Seems like an ongoing issue for many. I saw there are lots of recent comments in here microsoft/vscode-copilot-release#732

[ThimanKrish]

@JimNayzium Check now. It's back again. Seems like not enough resources for recent demand.

Me, as well. I only use it for Visual Studio, haven't used VS in about a week, and suddenly I've exceeded my usage? They have no problem taking my money, but no way to reach any support to figure this out?

I am encountering an issue that is affecting my ability to use your plugin. I keep receiving the error "Rate Limit Exceeded," and this happens every day. This significantly hinders my usage of the plugin, which is unacceptable given that I have a paid subscription.

Please look into this matter as soon as possible and provide a solution.

Thank you!
