Isn't Co-Pilot tied to VsCode?
No, it's in notepad, Edge, all MS Office products, Azure, M365. But you also get to chose your model: MS, OpenAI, Anthropic.

That's precisely what I do, with subscriptions to all of them. Gemini almost seems unlimited...like I never hit limits with it. Don't even know how to check my usage for the subscription plans on that. But increasingly I'm using Claude for basically all real coding. I ask Gemini and Codex questions, but I'm honestly in awe at Opus' ridiculous capabilities.
Gemini 3.1 pro under a Google AI pro subscription has just recently started imposing really small weekly limits. I went from it feeling unlimited to hitting a 4 day quota in 2 hours of use. Very odd. Wonder if too many people jumped on with the 3.1 pro release.

#153Would be cool to have a $5-10/month plan that only works off-peak, for people who want to do the occasional side project after work. Right now it's hard to justify anything but Copilot (because it's cheaper, offers the same models, and I'm nowhere near the usage limits).
You’re not using Claude Code?

What I mean is that "it" - the advertised window during which the offer applies - is not 5am to 11pm as mentioned by the poster above.
The advertised window is peak time (6h per day). The doubled usage applies off-peak (18h per day).

I canceled my plan today and wrote my reason as: now that I have a job again I don’t have the time or needs for the pro plan. If there was a $5 a month option, I would gladly take it to make use of Opus for my rare side ideas.
Pay as you go. I never spent more than $10/month working on my side project (usually a few evenings per month).
