Research direction

Start with the code that loads and displays GitHub Copilot budget or usage metrics in app version 1.1.30. Reproduce by increasing the budget manually and checking whether the displayed status and usage data refresh with the updated value. Done means the interface shows an accurate breakdown consistent with the new budget rather than only indicating that the plan is full.

Description

I'm encountering an issue with GitHub Copilot where my usage metrics aren't displaying correctly. When I manually increase my budget, it doesn't reflect the increase in my usage metrics.

This lack of accurate information makes it challenging to determine when I need to adjust my budget. Instead of receiving a clear breakdown of my usage, I only see that my plan is full, which leaves me with 0 status regarding my budget usage. Check the image below.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Access GitHub Copilot.
  2. Manually increase the budget.
  3. Check the usage metrics.
