Zed’s new Agentic Editing and other AI tools call Copilot’s premium endpoints, so a few minutes of heavy use can exhaust that monthly quota, in minutes; unlike VS Code, which mostly uses unlimited base completions. When the quota is exhausted Copilot replies with HTTP 429 “Too Many Requests.”
What to do
1. Update Zed to v0.185.16 (or newer). This release fixes several Copilot-integration bugs and improves request accounting.
2. Check your Copilot usage and plan. In GitHub → Copilot → “Premium requests” you can see how many calls you have left. Upgrade to Pro + (1 500 requests) or add extra credits if you need more head-room.
3. Throttle advanced features. Until your quota resets, disable Agentic Editing or switch Zed’s Copilot provider to the base model to avoid further 429s.
4. Still stuck? Add your logs to Zed issue #30517 (or open a new one) so the maintainers can investigate patterns across users.
Following these steps usually restores Copilot in Zed without waiting for the next monthly reset.
