Yo GitHub Copilot: are we cooked?

Estimate your GitHub Copilot AI-credit cost in preparation for June 1st. Pulls usage from VS Code, OpenCode, Pi, Zed, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Copilot for Xcode, aggregates it based on the new per-token pricing, and generates a local HTML report. Fully local.

TL;DR: GitHub Copilot is moving from premium-request quotas to per-token billing on June 1st. Agentic workflows can now cost more than the old premium-request mental model suggests.

Quick start

npx copilot-arewecooked

This scans your local Copilot usage data, estimates your AI-credit cost under the new billing, and writes an HTML report + PNG screenshot to your current directory:

Flags

| Flag | Description | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | --days <n> | Days to look back (default: all available data) | | --since <date> | Only include records from this date onward (YYYY-MM-DD) | | --auto-model <model> | Treat records reported as auto as a specific model for cost estimation (e.g. gpt-5.3-codex) | | --json | Print detailed normalized JSON to stdout (mutually exclusive with --terminal) | | --terminal | Print a compact report to the terminal instead of generating HTML/PNG (mutually exclusive with --json and --html) | | --html [path] | Write HTML report to a specific path (default: auto-generated filename) |

Note on auto model: Some tools (e.g. VS Code Copilot) may report the model as auto when the user has not selected a specific model. Credits for those requests will show as zero unless you specify --auto-model to map them to a known priced model. The HTML report will include a note when any auto records are remapped.
