Description
Foundry Toolkit for VS Code keeps popping up with a message saying "You have reached max token limit. Increase the limit or start a new chat" whilst processing a rqeuest. Whilst it's popping up, it does look as though its able to retry and proceed but this pop-up seems to be slowing it down/disrupting the flow. I can see in the Azure output terminal that its reconnecting to the Azure subscription each time it bumps into this error.
Unclear what this is referring to or how I change the limit if I'm using Azure Foundry and Foundry Toolkit extension. There shouldn't be a max token limit if you're BYOK? I don't believe I'm maxxing out on the Azure Foundry limits as they're set to 10,000 per minute and 10,000,000 tokens per minute.
I have set the BYOK utility model to an Azure Foundry model as well.
