Description
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Currently each request consumes a certain predicable amount of premium requests - this will change soon and make it completely unpredictable, a task might accidently eat up thwo whole budget for a month.
### Proposed solution
With the upcoming https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/github-copilot-is-moving-to-usage-based-billing/ it becomes completely unpredictable how much costs a request possibly consumes.
It would therefore be good to set a limit per session / request. If the limit is approached, copilot should ask for confirmation what to do that could be:
1. Complete as soon as possible with what was already accomplished
2. Continue with an increased budget
3. ....

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating task and session request handling in the CLI, then clarify how a token limit and confirmation choices should work. Done means the limit is enforced for a request or session and the proposed budget responses are covered by tests.
