Issue with GitHub Copilot Free Monthly Limit Reset Date

[MAlazhariy]

I subscribed to the GitHub Copilot Free Plan on December 18, 2024, and fully utilized the code completion limit for the month. Afterward, I disabled the Copilot plugin to avoid using the service until my limit reset. I did this until January 20, 2025, when I expected my monthly limit to reset and for me to be able to continue using Copilot.

However, upon re-enabling the plugin on January 20, 2025, I received the following message:

"You've reached your monthly code completion limit. Upgrade your plan to Copilot Pro (30-day Free Trial) or wait until 2025-02-19 for your limit to reset to continue coding with GitHub Copilot."

This is unexpected, as I did not use any part of the service. The message suggests that my limit reset will only happen on February 19, 2025, which seems to indicate an error in the system’s calculation of my reset date.

Expected Behavior:

The monthly limit should reset on January 19, 2025, based on my subscription start date, especially considering I did not use any code completions during the new month quota of January prior to the reset.

Actual Behavior:

The system is incorrectly calculating the reset date as February 19, 2025, and showing the message that I have reached my monthly limit.

Additional Notes:

• I made sure to disable the plugin entirely during the period after reaching the limit to ensure I wasn't consuming any code completions.
• The issue seems to be related to a miscalculation of the monthly limit reset period, as no usage occurred during the gap, and my reset should have happened on January 19, 2025.

Could you please check why this discrepancy is happening and adjust my limit reset date accordingly?

I hope you will work on resolving the issue so that it does not appear to users.

Hi @MAlazhariy

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've reported the issue internally and will keep you posted with any updates.

Estou tendo o mesmo problema no dia de hoje 03 de maio de 2025:
"You've reached your monthly chat messages limit. Upgrade to Copilot Pro (30-day free trial) or wait until 3 de maio de 2025 for your limit to reset."
mostrava assim e hoje dia 3:
"You've reached your monthly chat messages limit. Upgrade to Copilot Pro (30-day free trial) or wait until 3 de junho de 2025 for your limit to reset."

Observação:
Eu não utilizei todo o limite de:

• Conclusões de Código (todos os arquivos)
• Conclusões de Código (Dart)
  Não sei se, esse seja o motivo do problema, uma vez que ficou valor pendente para consumir!!!

Same issue

[wllm-alx]

same issue

[David-Luan]

On May 17th, 2025, the "Code Completions" were at 98%:

I thought, I'll try to make both "Chat Messages" and "Code Completions" reach 100%, because maybe that's why the limit hasn't been reset.

However, on May 19th, 2025, after having used 100% in both aspects, it was stated that the limit would be reset on June 2nd, 2025:

Today, on June 3rd, 2025, without having used VS Code the day before, the limit was not reset and unfortunately changed to July 2nd, 2025:

[David-Luan]

today it looked like this:

[RunninglVlan]

Having the same issue. For the last couple of days it said that the limit will reset on Jan-18, now it's Jan-20 and it says I need to wait till Feb-18!

[Freddycat]

Similar issue here but slightly different from OP's... I made a discussion about it too

EDIT: Sounds like other people are having the same issue.

[IRodriguez13]

i think everyone had the same bug

[Jamespronger37]

yeah same here

[guillermo-avalos]

Having the exact same issue. Reached the limit and was supposed to be reset on January 17th. On the 17th., it jumped to February 17th.

EDIT: Looks like it's been fixed.

[Akash1134]

Hi everyone,

This issue should now be resolved. Please let us know if you continue to experience any problems.

Thanks

[usamamashkoor]

Facing the same issue.

[Shrvz1]

I'm still facing this issue , please help

[kamalsghholdings]

I am still facing the same issue.
On 23rd July it was saying:
You've reached your monthly chat messages quota. You still have free code completions available. The allowance will reset on July 24, 2025.
On 24th July it was saying:
You've reached your monthly chat messages quota. You still have free code completions available. The allowance will reset on August 24, 2025.

[KHS338]

facing the same issue today is 1st august and my limit still remained at 80 percent kindly help

[jay13jay]

I'm having the same problem. Limit says it was going to reset on the February 1, now it's saying March 1. This is obviously not fixed yet

[sujit-neoconcepts]

As of now 2 Feb. I am getting this message.
You've run out of free code completions. You still have free chat messages available in the Copilot Free plan. These limits will reset on March 31, 2025.
it doesn't make sense. limits should reset after 1 month.

[adrianopedro]

Here... the same..
It was suppose to be reset yesterday.. and today says "These limits will reset on March 2, 2025"

[Alpha-Anas]

I am also facing the same issue, despite my Github Account verfies my active student status and Github student benefits, I am getting limit exceeded error for Copilot in Vscode. I have tried reinstalling and relogging in to Copliot extention, but facing the same issue.

Edit: The issue got solved, after re-verifying for my Github Student benefits, I did not reapply to Github Copilot which was required to be applied separately, after doing that the issue got resolved.

[huachuman]

I have been waiting until today for my limit to reset, because it previously said Feb 4, but now it's saying I've reach the limit until March 4, and I did not use any of my credits today. And I just realized it did the same thing last month. I've been waiting months for this to start working again but it keeps claiming I've used the limit when I never even had the chance to use it. It's like it keeps getting pushed back a month.

[cailmdaley]

I am also have this problem with the free plan (not student); the notification box says my limit will reset on March 31st, nearly two months in the future.

[Akash1134]

Hi everyone,

We’re sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with Copilot Free. I’ve escalated the matter to our product team internally and will ensure we provide you with an update as soon as possible.

If you are a verified student, could you please go to the pack offers page, scroll down to the "All offers" section and select Copilot, if you can redeem it you are fine, if you can't, I suggest you to contact support again by raising a ticket here, select "I am a verified student having trouble redeeming my Global Campus offers" and explain your problem.

Discussion has been unmarked as answered

[jay13jay]

It's been over 72 hours, I understand how sprints work but surely you have people dedicated to bugfixes that you allow into production, right?

[huachuman]

@Akash1134 any news on this Akash...

[jlgonrod]

It worked for me perfectly. Thanks a lot, @Akash1134!

[ElalChico]

Hello, you are promoting GitHub Copilot as if it were free, but it’s not. The free usage runs out too quickly and you’re forced to pay. It’s not open source. At the very least, you should allow the use of other free models. But please don’t advertise it as free when in reality the free usage is quickly exhausted and users are forced to wait another month or pay. Please don’t ruin VS Code, which used to be a great development platform.
If this is a mistake, please clarify it publicly. Otherwise, you must clearly state that GitHub Copilot is not free. Emphasizing that it is free when the usage is extremely limited and quickly exhausted is misleading. Users deserve transparency, not deceptive marketing. If the service requires payment after minimal use, this must be explicitly communicated — no ambiguity, no hidden terms.

[thegroosalugg]

I have this issue. I first used the service at the start of Jan and used up my completions in a couple of days. It said wait until 31st of Jan for it to reset. I just realised that it never was, it still says it has been used, and now tells me to wait until 31st of March. That is 3 months of waiting for a reset.

[xfy6238]

same issue; Copilot Free, no reset;

[huachuman]

Github is starting to look more an more like those microsoft support threads where they either send you on a wild goose chase or never fix the issue on their end

[PlunkettSean]

I also have the same issue. Should have Reset Feb 3, 2025 now says March 3, 2025.

[diegorayado2003]

im having the same issue, it was supposed to reset on june 17

[BuilDani]

Still nothing, my reset just jumped to next month same day

[dshak1]

I have the same issues even in July. I have signed up for the student developer pack, and it seems not to be redeemed

[ihahachi]

same issue 😒

[UrbanTango]

I am having this issue as well. It just pushed be forward a month with the same % used. :/

[jeancloudvanlang]

logout/login in vscode witth my github account and it worked again for me

[AethiQs-Sander]

sadly did not work for me

[jdcode]

Same, logging out in both vs code and vs2022 did nothing to reset my chat message limit. It simply jumped from July 24 to August 24 reset.

[stoo-cloud]

same, disable extensions, log in and out of vscode, restart vscode. Usage goes up and did not reset at July 24, now it says August 24 is the reset date and I look to be at 98% for Chat.

[stoo-cloud]

I disabled extensions, log in and out of vscode, restart vscode. Usage not shown in github website.
Usage goes up and did not reset at July 24 as expected, now it says August 24 is the reset date and I am at 98% for Chat.

[yytTrunk]

same, It feels like a bug.

[kamalsghholdings]

I am still facing the same issue.
On 23rd July it was saying: You've reached your monthly chat messages quota. You still have free code completions available. The allowance will reset on July 24, 2025.
On 24th July it was saying: You've reached your monthly chat messages quota. You still have free code completions available. The allowance will reset on August 24, 2025.

Still blocked

[i3c]

I have the same issue here. Github Copilot refuses to reset my allowance.

Before 24 July, I had Allowance resets July 24, 2025.
Now, it's 31 July.
I open VS code and it shows Allowance resets August 24, 2025, however, the usage does NOT reset at all.

I tried logout/login github account with no effect to the usage reset.

[rizkyhaksono]

I've been facing the same issue. For the past few days, it said the limit would reset on August 1st and it's telling me to wait until September 1st!

[vicky-dx]

yes the issue still persists!
it supposed to get reset by 1st of Aug
not i got no allowance, but still showing new allowance date

[Root-source-ai]

Also the same issue.

[lbras]

Same here, limits were supposed to refresh on July 24, 2025, but they didn't. I thought they would reset at the end of the month, but today I checked and the date is now August 24, 2025:

[guillermo-avalos]

Yup, same here. On July 17th I was at 0, full quota was free and was all exhausted after 10-15 requests. Now I have to wait till the 17th again.

[andrew-front-end]

Hey! The same problem. My limit should be reseted today (the 9th of August), but I see date of next month - 9th of September
