At my company, all of us devs have GitHub copilot enterprise licenses, which was $39/month for basically unlimited use on most models. The new pricing is the same price except we get 3900 copilot credits a month. 1 credit is 1000 tokens. There is nothing concrete about how many tokens are used, but they estimate powerful models like Claude will use about 10 credits per transaction. The more basic models are less consumption, but still count. Code completion is still unlimited. It’s going to get really expensive really fast for companies balls deep in it.
For token context, we had someone come in and give us an hour long vibe coding lesson with Claude code.he created a basic 600 line app in that hour and consumed 40000 tokens. I have UI tests with twice as many lines of code. It’s going to be a blood bath, and I’m here for it.
Yesterday I had a meeting where I explained this to my team. Nobody can use Opus anymore and shoot for under 5% of your monthly budget per work day. They better pray that I am the first one to run out of credits, I won’t buy more until that. From today alone it looks grim, they changed something in the harness too, making it burn credits. I would say we use it very lightly and we are in trouble. It is going to be a blood bath.
Does anyone know if the JetBrains plan is more token efficient? I am also looking at just paying API cost for a cheap model on openrouter.
We don’t have any power users so I think we’re going to be fine for now. I do believe that by default all of your company credits are pooled, so one person could use everyone’s in theory. I thought I read that can be changed.
I’ve asked 3 questions to Claude today because I was struggling with an error. I’m curious to see how many credits I used to end up not using any of the generated code.

I change it to not be pooled. I am not going to used them conservatively for someone else to blow the entire plan on me.
