Each time you submit a prompt to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} in {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cli_short %}'s interactive mode, and each time you use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cli_short %} in programmatic mode, your monthly quota of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} premium requests is reduced by one, multiplied by the multiplier shown in parentheses in the model list. For example, `Claude Sonnet 4.5 (1x)` indicates that with this model each time you submit a prompt your quota of premium requests is reduced by one. For information about premium requests, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/billing/copilot-requests).
