Overview#

Ever worried about burning through your monthly premium requests without realizing it?

It’s not unlimited, so running into the cap unexpectedly is no fun. The /usage command helps you keep track.

Usage#

Run this in Copilot CLI:

/copilot> /usage

Your session’s usage metrics and statistics are displayed.

/usage vs. /context#

/usage tells you “how many requests you’ve used.” /context tells you “how bloated your conversation is.”

Tips to Save Requests#

• Use /plan to plan before implementing (fewer wasted attempts)
• Use /compact to compress conversations (work more efficiently)
• Use /clear to reset when the conversation is going nowhere
