- Copilot CLI version:
0.0.413
- OS: macOS
- Session: ~24h single session, resumed with
--resume
Describe the bug
The /usage command reports a much lower premium request count than what is actually consumed from the monthly quota.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a long Copilot CLI session with heavy tool use (bash, edit, view, grep — no sub-agents)
- Resume the session with
--resume across launches
- Check
/usage — shows 6 Premium requests
- Check remaining quota — dropped from >80% → <70% (300 request quota = ~30+ requests consumed)
Expected behavior
/usage session counter should match (or closely approximate) the number of requests deducted from the monthly quota.
Actual behavior
/usage shows 6 requests; quota indicates ~30+ were consumed. The counter also appears to reset or drop after context compaction (auto-summarization): token counts dropped
from 1.4M input / 3.9K output → 583K input / 1.1K output mid-session, and the counter restarted from a lower number.
Additional context
Compaction events may consume requests that are not carried over in the /usage counter after summarization. It is unclear whether quota consumption includes background
operations not surfaced in the session counter.
