I was just hit by similar issue.

I'm using GitHub Copilot free plan exclusively in IntelliJ IDEA (current version of plugin is 1.5.57-243, https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17718-github-copilot).

Today is 01 of October. Whole previous month the plugin gave me steady pace of inline suggestions. It gave me some more suggestions today in the morning. Starting somewhere around 12pm UTC it suddenly shows me:

You've reached your monthly code completion limit. Upgrade your plan to Copilot Pro (30-day Free Trial) or wait until 2025-11-01 for your limit to reset to continue coding with GitHub Copilot. You are currently logged in as pelepelin.

The portal page https://github.com/settings/copilot/features shows me that I used all 100% of my monthly quota and reset will happen in 31 days.

Code completions 100%
Chat messages 24%
You've reached your free plan limit. Upgrade for higher limits, premium models, AI reviews.
Free responses reset in 31 days.

So it's either:

• The plugin suddenly used all the quota for the new month in several hours (I had no chats today though)
• More likely, something is wrong with quota calculation and reset code. Likely, time zone in quota period calculation doesn't match time zone of quota reset moment. Maybe, number of days in previous month is calculated wrong. Anyway, new month is started but quota is not reset. (However, as a free user I can't send a support request and can't find where to report the bug.)

I am experiencing the same issue. I assumed that my monthly quota would be reset on October 26, 2025. On that day, however, I saw that the monthly quota would be reset on November 26, 2025. I fear that I will receive another message that the monthly quota will be reset on December 26, if I do not solve this issue this month. How can this be fixed?

I have the same issue. I started using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio in February on a Free subscription, after I handed in my work computer with their paid subscription. After about two weeks I had used the free requests. That's okay, it's how it is. It showed 100% requests and about 20% code completions and "Limits refresh on 28-02-2026". I was waiting for March 1st, but then it just still shows same 100%/20% usages and "Limits refesh on 30-03-2026". I have NOT been using any requests in March, as it has stated that I've reached the montly limit.

Have I somehow used up more than twice the monthly allowance before limit kicked in, so the overdraft skips to the next month? Or is the resetting just not working?

me too

I am also facing same issue My github copilot allowance was to reset on March 16,2026 but on March 16,2026 it is showing this:
Allowance resets April 16, 2026.

I'm facing the same issue. I should have been reset on March 18; now it has just pushed back the reset date, but usage is still at 100%

I am also having the problem. I don't know what I should do, should I wait or take action?

Finally my free requests has reset two* days ago! It was still not reset four days ago; it was blocking/fully used. Weird day of resetting, around the 20th in the month? And also at least a month late.
*moved this from a reply on aksyonov's post two days ago to a general comment

To all people still encountering this issue: I would suggest you to contact support. I don't think they are looking here. My requests have finally reset way too late, but I don't know if it happened automatically or someone from support read my request for support and just fixed it. I haven't heard anything from them. But the more people sending requests for support on this, the more focus it will get.

This seems to be a fairly common issue with the Copilot free trial/free tier, and you’re definitely not alone.

From what others have reported, the monthly limit should reset automatically at the start of a new calendar month (UTC time), but in some cases it doesn’t — either due to a delay, timezone mismatch, or an actual bug in the system. ([Visual Studio Code]1)

There are also multiple reports where the reset date keeps moving forward without actually resetting usage, which suggests this might be a known issue affecting several users. ([GitHub]2)

🔧 Things you can try

• Wait until midnight UTC (not local time)
• Sign out and back in (VS Code / GitHub)
• Check your Copilot usage dashboard & billing settings
• Try disabling and re-enabling the Copilot extension
• Wait 24–48 hours (some users reported delayed resets)

🧠 If it still doesn’t work

At that point, it’s likely not on your side. The best option is to:
👉 Contact GitHub Support directly: https://support.github.com/

They can check your account state and manually reset it if needed.

Overall, this looks less like a usage mistake and more like a quota/reset bug or billing sync issue. Hopefully GitHub improves reliability here soon 🚀

I’m experiencing the exact same issue. My quota was supposed to reset on March 16th, but it just pushed the date back to April 16th while remaining at 100% usage. It seems like a recurring bug for the Free Plan. Thanks to everyone for sharing the support ticket workaround—I'll try contacting them too!

I'm back, baby! :-/

I used up all my free tokens/requests for April on a single day and haven't used Copilot since, but today, on May 11th, my Copilot Usage dialog says Limits refresh on 30-05-2026 and Requests used: 100%. Oh no, now this again.

I have created a follow-up support ticket and hope for a quick resolve.
