Copilot in GitHub

Body

I have a 10$ subsription and 10$ budget on top. Up until June I used to run out of credit around 28th of the month consistently with medium usage. My usage has not changed. There have been significant "go slow" errors and none responses of Github Copilot in Visual Studio 2026 May 27th upgrade 18.6.2. So I admit I have resubmitted some context queries due to "no response", "platform error response" or locking up of the chat interface. Now I find this on only 4th day of month:
1,183/ 1,500 AI credits: with 75% usage warning. How is this possible? I have achieved nothing in this first 4 days of the month and have no credit left to continue working but feel that this must be wrong? Any advice? Anyone seeing similar issues?
FYI: on Mid-May updgrade to 18.6.1 I was forced to roll-back to April Upgrade because of too many crashes. 18.6.2 is better but way too slow to be useable and I was about to roll back again.

Extra information on this theme: The "context usage in current thread" in VS Copilot May 18.6.2 version moves to 100% after even the briefest of queries. This was not the case in the April version (yes I know the circle in the chat window was not shown in April.. but I rarely ran out of context space in April with the exact same style of simple queries).
