What is the limit term about "You've hit your global rate limit."? #190762
-
Discussion TypeGeneral Discussion ContentI'm a Pro+ subscriber, and this morning I received a global rate limit error after only about five conversations. "You've hit your global rate limit. Please upgrade your plan or wait for your limit to reset. Learn More" I've never encountered this problem before. I'd like to know if this is a new clause? Is there a specific rate limit indicator? How long after trying again is it supposed to happen? And I already have the highest-level Pro+ subscription, it even prompted me to upgrade my plan... I don't understand what this means. Even if there is a limit, why would a Pro+ user reach the rate limit after only five conversations? I really hope this is just a bug, otherwise this limit practically means Copilot's service is unusable. |

I just asked two simple questions in the morning, and it prompted a rate limit. What’s more, you can’t even use the free model — what a bullshit restriction! pro+!!! |

This is clearly not due to insufficient premium request quota, but rather a request rate limitation. |

I only encountered the speed limit when I had five windows open simultaneously using the Pro subscription before, which is why I upgraded to the Pro+ subscription. I admit that having five windows open simultaneously is a bit excessive, but that's only a rare occurrence, and I didn't do that today. |

It sounds like you're in a worse situation than me. I wonder what kind of trouble the copilot developers are up to this time. |

If I can't even do 1 simple task, I'm unsubscribing, this is just stupid. Switching models doesn't help. They better fix it asap. |

It must be a bug. Looks like the devs are vibe coding github copilot with github copilot now. |

Hello @ColdeZhang 👋 Even Pro+ users may occasionally encounter a “global rate limit” if the system is experiencing high usage or a temporary issue. Typically, this resets after a few minutes. If it continues to occur with very few messages, it may be a bug, and reaching out to support would be the best way to resolve it. |

I see in that case it’s best to report this to GitHub Support with timestamps, screenshots, and a reference to this issue + #192880 so they can properly investigate. multiple users are experiencing it, it’s likely a broader issue on their side. |

Several days of interrupted normal use. Projects are falling behind deadlines missed. Wasting HOURS waiting to use my PAID service. I'm only running 2-3 instances at a time. I'm the only user. This isn't excessive use, its heavy use, which is why I'm paying for Pro+. When will refunds be issued? I'm about to take my $40/mo to a provider which actually provides the services I'm paying for. This is simply unacceptable when I'm on the Pro+ plan. |

Can this be related somehow to the subagents? I just tried this and now I'm getting this issue all the time. Not sure if it's just a coincidence |

I am also rate limited for 3 days :D FYI, I am on Pro+ and have only hit 14.0% usage FOR THE MONTH so far. Completely unbelieveable! I am not a heavy user at all.

I’m seeing the same issue consistently over the past month when using GitHub Copilot. In my case (at first), it seemed correlated with the xhigh setting on GPT-5.4-mini. But now the rate limiting feels off - I’m hitting limits frequently even under normal usage patterns and now also with medium setting. Based on rough calculations, the current limits don’t even allow me to fully utilize my Premium request quota using the GPT-5.4-mini by far, which is great work by MS. Would be helpful to get clarification on whether this is expected behavior or a misconfiguration. |

I have the same problem. I've been using GitHub Copilot EDU more intensively these past few days and I've never seen this message before. Furthermore, the limit increases very quickly (with fewer than 10 requests, it jumped from 50% to 70%), even with requests primarily using a BYOK API key (Google Gemini), which is quite strange, isn't it? |
