Description

I am using oh-my-opencode. In a session, when main agent (premium request consumer) comes back after background task completion or after compaction, it is a consuming a premium request. Subagents are not consuming premium requests so far. Basically, it is consuming requests while switching agents.

Plugins

oh-my-opencode

OpenCode version

1.1.48

Steps to reproduce

No response

Screenshot and/or share link

No response

Operating System

Linux Mint 22.2

Terminal

Xfce Terminal

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #8030: Copilot auth now sets far too many requests as "user" consuming premium requests rapidly - describes synthetic messages being marked as user-initiated instead of agent-initiated
  • #8700: GH Copilot | synthetic user messages burn premium requests - specifically about subagent messages consuming premium requests
  • #8067: Github Copilot multiple premium request charges without subagents - reports multiple premium charges in same session
  • #10572: more than one copilot credit is used for tasks - describes tasks consuming multiple credits

Feel free to ignore if your case differs from these.

Yeah, I noticed that too. OpenCode burns premium requests like crazy, but with Copilot CLI I can vibecode for hours and barely touch my limit.

Only thing is oh-my-opencode is only available for opencode, otherwise I was using GitHub copilot.
oh-my-opencode agents are crazy, if someone could build similar thing for copilot, it would be great

I haven't investigated yet, but can the reasons be found regarding the models used to run tools, such as listing files and reading? As far as I know, Claude Code (and possibly Copilot) uses smaller models for those tasks.
