Github Copilot is just a front-end. You pay for the frontend and some premium requests every month.
The base models like GPT 4o, 4.1 don’t have a usage cap. Models like Claude Sonet, Opus, etc have a monthly limit and you can pay more to use these through Github Copilot.

Yes, Copilot is often used to refer to both frontend and backend.
Also, the chatbot aka Copilot must have features on its own. Like I say to Roo Code/Cline on VSCode: Write a python script to output hello world.
And they will do exactly that, Roo Code is pretty impressive. Copilot on its own is dogshit and when using it the same way I would use Perplexity AI or ChatGPT, it is twice as much dogshit.
