Copilot in GitHub

Body

I am reporting a synchronization issue between my billing budget and Copilot access.

My Account Details:

Username: gurukrpa

Included Requests: 300/300 (Consumed)

Active Budget: $300.00

Current Billed Usage: ~$65.08

Overage Setting: "Stop usage when budget limit is reached" is UNCHECKED (No).

The Issue:
Even though I have over $200 of remaining budget and have set the budget to NOT stop usage, the IDE/Web interface is blocking my premium requests (specifically Claude Opus 4.6). My Usage Breakdown shows I have successfully used 1,560 billed requests this month, but the service has now stopped responding.

I have already tried signing out and back into VS Code. Please refresh the entitlement flag on my account so I can continue using my paid budget.

Why this is happening
Multiplier Math: High-end models like Claude Opus 4.6 sometimes hit a "rate limit" (how many messages per minute) that is separate from your "billing limit."

Entitlement Lag: Sometimes when you hit exactly 300, the system sends a "block" signal to your IDE that doesn't automatically clear even when a budget is present.
