GitHub Copilot Premium Quota Monitor — VS Code Extension
Monitor the remaining GitHub Copilot premium model quota directly from the VS Code status bar.
Features
Status bar widget showing the remaining premium quota as a percentage (with Copilot icon) and colour-coded urgency levels (critical / warning / normal).
Single click the widget to open a quick-action menu: Refresh, Sign in, Sign out, Open Settings.
Double click the widget to refresh the quota immediately.
Configurable alert thresholds and colours: set your own critical (default 10 %) and warning (default 30 %) percentage thresholds and colours via Settings → Extensions → GitHub Copilot Premium Quota Monitor.
Automatic background refresh (default every 5 minutes, configurable 1–60 min).
Secure authentication via GitHub OAuth Device Flow; token stored in VS Code's Secret Storage (OS keychain).
GitHub Enterprise support: authenticate against GitHub Enterprise Cloud (data residency) or a self-hosted GitHub Enterprise Server instance instead of github.com, by configuring a custom server URL and OAuth Client ID in Settings.
Tooltip with remaining quota %, AI credits, and renewal date.
A GitHub account with an active Copilot subscription is required.
Getting Started
Install the extension.
On first launch you will be prompted to sign in — click Sign in with GitHub.
A panel opens with a one-time code. Copy it, open the GitHub authorisation page, paste the code, and approve.
The status bar widget will start showing your quota.
GitHub Enterprise (Cloud with data residency, or self-hosted Server)
To authenticate against a GitHub Enterprise deployment instead of github.com, open Settings → Extensions → GitHub Copilot Premium Quota Monitor:
On your GitHub Enterprise Cloud tenant or Server instance, register an OAuth App (organization/enterprise → Developer settings → OAuth Apps) with Device Flow enabled, and note its Client ID.
Set ghcpPremiumQuotaMonitor.gitHubServerType to one of:
github.com (default) — the standard behaviour against github.com / api.github.com with the extension's built-in Client ID.
enterprise_cloud — for a Cloud tenant with a dedicated subdomain (e.g. https://contoso.ghe.com). The REST API is automatically resolved from the api. subdomain (e.g. https://api.contoso.ghe.com).
enterprise_server — for a self-managed instance (e.g. https://github.example.com). The REST API is automatically resolved under /api/v3 (e.g. https://github.example.com/api/v3).
Fill in ghcpPremiumQuotaMonitor.gitHubEnterpriseUrl (the base URL of your tenant/instance) and ghcpPremiumQuotaMonitor.gitHubEnterpriseClientId (from step 1).
If you were already signed in, existing credentials are cleared automatically and you will be prompted to sign in again — click the status bar widget and choose Sign in with GitHub.
