Descripción

### Describe the bug

I am experiencing a critical and persistent global 429 Rate Limit error across all GitHub Copilot models and interfaces (CLI, Chat, and Free Fallback). This has persisted for over 3 hours despite a complete machine reboot and environment reset.

My account is a paid **Copilot Pro+** subscription. I have confirmed that I still have an active **token allocation quota**, and I also have sufficient **capital allocation/billing authorization** set up to pay for on-demand usage if the quota runs out.

The error states: "Sorry, you've hit a rate limit that restricts the number of Copilot model requests... (Request ID: ...)". This is not a usage-based limit, but an infrastructure-level block.

### Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.27 Experimental on

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Authenticate with a valid Copilot Pro+ account.
2. Ensure you have active token allocation and a payment method set.
3. In the terminal, attempt any request, e.g., `copilot suggest "git commit message"` (or select ANY Premium model).
4. Observe the persistent immediate error: "Sorry, you've hit a rate limit...".
5. Wait for the specified duration (4 or 6 minutes) and retry.
6. Observe the error repeating immediately, or after a maximum of 2-3 requests, making the service unusable for over 3 hours.

### Expected behavior

As a Pro+ user with active allocation (both quota and payment method), I expect to be able to make requests to both standard and premium models, within the established concurrency limits, without experiencing immediate, global 429 blocks. I expect the system to properly utilize my allocation.

### Additional context

Here are the Request IDs of the failed requests:
1. `Request ID: EA0A:78AA1:35E2B4B:3A6FA59:69DFE000`
2. `Request ID: A8B0:E658E:41B81D8:47927BF:69E007BD`

Environment

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (Noble Numbat)
Kernel: Linux 6.17.0-19-generic
Architecture: x86_64
Desktop session: ubuntu:GNOME
Session type: X11
Shell: /bin/bash
Terminal environment: TERM=xterm-color

This seems to be a server-side provisioning or account state synchronization issue between the Billing API and the Copilot Gateway, as no local client resets (reboots, logging out) are resolving the block.

Línea de trabajo

Comienza reproduciendo el fallo con GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.27 Experimental en Ubuntu 24.04.4 mediante el comando documentado `copilot suggest`; después, revisa cómo la CLI gestiona el 429 devuelto y correlaciona los fallos con los Request IDs proporcionados. Se considera completado cuando se haya identificado si el problema se puede abordar en este repositorio o si se trata de un problema de aprovisionamiento o de estado de la cuenta en el servidor.
