What issue are you seeing?

As you can see from the pic, it says I am nearing the limit and I still have some credits but when I try to use it in VS code, it says i am out of credits.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Get your credits to the same limits as i have (0% weekly, 100% for 5h window)

What is the expected behavior?

I should be able to exhaust the remaining 5h credits before both progress bars show 0%.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by waiting for the 5-hour window to expire or by verifying the credit usage calculation in VS Code.

Guidance

  • Check the credit usage calculation in VS Code to ensure it matches the expected behavior of exhausting the remaining 5-hour credits before showing 0%.
  • Verify that the weekly limit and 5-hour window limits are correctly configured and synchronized between the credit system and VS Code.
  • Review the image provided to see if there are any indicators of a desynchronization or mismatch between the credit limits and usage.
  • Test the behavior with different credit limits and usage patterns to isolate the issue.

Notes

The issue description lacks technical details about the credit system and VS Code integration, making it difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify the credit usage calculation and configuration to ensure correct behavior, as the issue may be due to a desynchronization or mismatch between the credit system and VS Code.
