Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Bugs

Great overall but we need to do something about token usage. We upgraded our engineering team to Copilot and easily run into $1000+ per developer. It's not even middle of the month... OpenCode is significantly more efficient. At this rate GitHub Copilot is not sustainable for us.
