Details
According to Points to consider in the GitHub Copilot CLI Fleet documentation, tokens used by subagents are now included in premium requests.
The author states that they have been actively using subagents for complex multi-step implementation plans since late last year, and previously it seemed that premium requests were not being reduced, but after checking the documentation, they learned that the policy had been officially changed.
- Key change: subagent token usage is now explicitly stated to be deducted from premium requests
- Practical impact: the previous assumption that running subagents could avoid consuming premium requests is no longer safe
