Can't use additional premium paid request

Body

I have a GitHub Copilot Pro subscription and have used up my limits. Then, in the billing settings, I set additional limits of $10. BUT Copilot still asks me to enable additional premium requests, even though I've already enabled them. For some reason, Copilot doesn't recognize this. I don't know what the problem is. However, in the toolbar, Copilot itself states, “Additional paid premium requests enabled."

After a month, I have gotten an update from the support about the created ticket:

It looks like you were still on trial when you originally got in touch with us, and I'm afraid it's not possible for you to enable a budget whilst still on trial. My apologies for the confusing messaging, but the budget should now kick in if you reach your limit of included premium requests.

I was in trial and switched to Pro+, and I don't know if I will encounter the same problem; if so, I will let you know here
