Possible bug with reset date (Github Copilot Free)

Bug

Body

So forgive me if this is not a bug, and I did not record what dates I started using github copilot, so it's hard for me to describe enough info about this problem, but recently I reached my monthly chat limit for github copilot free version (in vscode) a few days ago. It specifically stated that the reset date was January 19th, yesterday. Yesterday on the 19th it continued to say that the reset date was Jan 19th, until today, and now it says the reset date is actually February 19th.
Not only that, but if I go to github.com in my browser, it states there that the reset date is actually February 20th.
Now I don't mind if I actually reached my chat limit, but something doesn't make any sense about this, because the February date is a month from today? So that would mean I have already used THIS month's chat limit, but I believe I started using the copilot sometime in December... So that would lead me to think that the reset should have happened yesterday on the 19th?

Expected Behavior:

Monthly reset said it would be January 19th, I would expect it to actually reset then.

Actual Behavior:

Date suddenly switches to February 19th, a month later.

Additional Notes:

I think I started using the copilot in December, I would expect that running out of tokens before reset would make the reset date in January as it said, but maybe I am wrong due to technicality of when I used the tokens?

Thanks!

EDIT: Looks like possibly other people posted with the same issue around the same time as me.

[MarkBarbeau]

This has happened to me every single month since I started using it.

+1 Same problem

[anupshah]

I also have the same issue.

@Akash1134 : Should we be raising a separate ticket each or mentioning here is enough?

I am having the same issue (3rd August 2025). (I'm in Central European Time)
I reached my limit at he beginning of July, and was given a reset date of 19th July. I have hardly used Copilot since (maybe not at all), but am now being given a reset date of 19th August.
Copilot (reached via GitHub Support) says that "A summary of your conversation with Copilot in GitHub Support will automatically be included in the ticket." is that also the case when this is not a new ticket?

I have this problem as well. I'm using VS code 1.100.1, and my completions limit was reached. Was supposed to reset om May 5, but it just jumped to Jun 5 without resetting the quotas. After googling I found there was a bug with the copilot plugin. I tried updating, restarting etc, but the problem persists.

I'm also having this problem. Was supposed to reset today and now it says it will reset on June 17th.

I am also experiencing this problem. Code completions were supposed to reset on June 17th. When they did not, I thought perhaps the time of day had not passed yet (as opposed to midnight somewhere, which is the expected behavior). Today it says "Allowance resets July 17, 2025."

any solution or did the issue rsolved?

[TheLazyLemur]

Same problem here

[slmnkhn79]

they reset usage based on the server timing in utc , so if you are ahead of utc you will see update after some time as soon as utc hit 00 00 am in the night

[davidlmorris]

No, it doesn't. Mine just jumped right ahead to the next month, from July 18 to August 18, in the morning of July 18, when I was expecting a reset. And UTC 0:00 (local time 8:00 am) for July 18 has now passed.

[davidlmorris]

Oooops... ok, another 20 minutes later and it has reset. (This was at 8:20 AM), so 00:20 UTC. Nevertheless, there is still a bug in that the wrong date is shown until this change percolates through for those of us ahead of UTC.

my copilot said it would reset July 7th and on July 8th it switched to Aug 7 as the reset date without resetting the amount used (100%)

ok the next day it reset the %'s. must have been a sleeping server.

[notator]

My copilot said it would reset July 19th, but after that it changed the reset date to August 19th without resetting the amount used.
@Akash1134 This bug is not fixed yet in spite of its being marked as resolved above.

[JunAgs]

Don't use copilot, they can't fix it. Try Claude
