Switched back to Github Copilot for using it with Opencode as Agent
I'm with you on this, but unsure about token limits... it does seem to make sense that tokens would be managed differently because in Copilot it's a 1:1 prompt-to-response ratio, but OpenCode is different. I think there's an open thread on the issue from another post. I'll find it! Got it! https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/8030 somehow Copilot always feels best and I sadly crawl back to it saying: "please forgive me!" --- but OpenCode just feels PRODUCTIVE, or maybe there's been a sudden explosion in agentic workflows and they're all silently now amazing. OpenCode w/ Copilot models feels like the right move, but I do like all 3 of the free OpenCode models right off the bat. It feels like OpenCode has the best workflow wrapper for models IMO.

OpenCode vs GitHub Copilot CLI — huge credit usage difference for same prompt?
GitHub Copilot bills per request. It doesn't matter how long it works or how many tokens. It's one request. OpenCode is optimized for tokens, not requests. It's doing a lot more back and forth with the model on your behalf than Copilot CLI does. More on reddit.com

r/GithubCopilot on Reddit: If you have GH Copilot, you can use OpenCode with no additional costs
August 28, 2025 -

Just a reminder:

  • If you have Github Copilot subscription, you can use Open Code CLI/TUI with no additional costs

  • After installing use opencode auth login and choose GitHub Copilot

  • You can then select models from Github Copilot and use it

They claim they use same prompt as in Claude Code so it might have similar quality. It's definately something to try if you want to check CLI/TUI AI tools.

Additionally you are no longer tied to VSC IDE so you can use it in your favorite IDE terminal.

r/GithubCopilot on Reddit: Switched back to Github Copilot for using it with Opencode as Agent
February 17, 2026 -

Beginning of last year I was on a Pro+ subscription for a while, but I canceled and changed to different model access, mainly because I wanted to burn my Azure Credits on coding.

From time to time I use Opus - Antigravity and other left a sad feeling, so I canceled there. I read that Opencode as a 3rd Party Agent is accepted with Copilot. So I gave it a go.

Still the context size restriction nags a bit, but I think maybe it is time to work less "sloppy". I created some workflow for me to work intensively with subagents. Currently only for creating docs, onboarding projects and executing plan.

This is consuming a lot of tokens on single premium request. Are there any limits I shall take care of?

EDIT: I also posted a question similar to this one in the Opencode subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/opencodeCLI/comments/1r6fnsp/opencode_with_github_copilot/ ) . I did quite a few things with OC and wrote also a few extensions in the past. The target of my question was also about "limits" and if there are probably problems arising, when too many subagents and tokens are spawned from a single premium request. Found later in the GHCP-Sub that some people got suspended, because the abused the system by executing hundreds of todos on one request on regular basis.
