Hello GitHub Support,

I noticed an issue with my Copilot usage reset date. On August 31, the message showed that my premium requests allowance would reset on September 1, 2025. However, once the date changed to September 1, it suddenly showed that the reset will happen on October 1, 2025 instead.

This seems incorrect, and I believe there may be a bug in how the reset date is being displayed. Could you please clarify this and confirm when my allowance is supposed to reset?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Hey @estavanieaudrey,
Premium copilot request should be reset on the first of each month so there isn't a bug in terms of date displayed, if your premium requests haven't been reset it's probably an error on their side so you should contact support to solve this.
Hop this helps!

Thanks for clarifying! How can I contact GitHub Support to solve this issue? I need help to get my premium requests reset. :)

sorry Do you think there is support? Because the truth is, support doesn't exist and they send you here, I don't know, to what?

At the time of my reply it was around 8pm 31st of august utc time, it is now 1st of august utc time so your requests should've ben reset. However if they haven't here is supports link: Support

Oh, I just checked and it has now refreshed back to 0% for the premium requests. Thank you guys for the help, you’ve been really helpful hehe. Looks like there was a little bug last night.

bruh same issue

?????

I think it's because you've already reached your free plan limit.

I was just hit by similar issue.

I'm using GitHub Copilot free plan exclusively in IntelliJ IDEA (current version of plugin is 1.5.57-243, https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17718-github-copilot).

Today is 01 of October. Whole previous month the plugin gave me steady pace of inline suggestions. It gave me some more suggestions today in the morning. Starting somewhere around 12pm UTC it suddenly shows me:

You've reached your monthly code completion limit. Upgrade your plan to Copilot Pro (30-day Free Trial) or wait until 2025-11-01 for your limit to reset to continue coding with GitHub Copilot. You are currently logged in as pelepelin.

The portal page https://github.com/settings/copilot/features shows me that I used all 100% of my monthly quota and reset will happen in 31 days.

Code completions 100%
Chat messages 24%
You've reached your free plan limit. Upgrade for higher limits, premium models, AI reviews.
Free responses reset in 31 days.

So it's either:

• The plugin suddenly used all the quota for the new month in several hours (I had no chats today though)
• More likely, something is wrong with quota calculation and reset code. Likely, time zone in quota period calculation doesn't match time zone of quota reset moment. Maybe, number of days in previous month is calculated wrong. Anyway, new month is started but quota is not reset. (However, as a free user I can't send a support request and can't find where to report the bug.)

I am experiencing the same issue. I assumed that my monthly quota would be reset on October 26, 2025. On that day, however, I saw that the monthly quota would be reset on November 26, 2025. I fear that I will receive another message that the monthly quota will be reset on December 26, if I do not solve this issue this month. How can this be fixed?

I have the same issue. I started using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio in February on a Free subscription, after I handed in my work computer with their paid subscription. After about two weeks I had used the free requests. That's okay, it's how it is. It showed 100% requests and about 20% code completions and "Limits refresh on 28-02-2026". I was waiting for March 1st, but then it just still shows same 100%/20% usages and "Limits refesh on 30-03-2026". I have NOT been using any requests in March, as it has stated that I've reached the montly limit.

Have I somehow used up more than twice the monthly allowance before limit kicked in, so the overdraft skips to the next month? Or is the resetting just not working?
