I spent all* my GitHub Pro+ tokens in February, what was my output?

This past month I spent nearly every night and weekend coding with GitHub Copilot by my side. As should be no surprise I develop Windows apps and have spent nearly all of my token budget on enhancements on my Windows apps. I used Copilot in the CLI, VS Code, VS 2026. What does that look like from an output standpoint? Let’s go app by app:

Text Grab

• Unit conversion

• Unwarp correction
• Edge correction
• Grid correction

Proof of concepts

From my point of view, this is an insanely high amount of features to build in a single month. With that said the question remains, will I renew? Likely not.

The toll of this much work on someone like me, who wants to maximize what I’m paying for, means that I am constantly thinking about working on my apps. I do love working on my apps, but I feel tired after this marathon of a month.

I love talking to people about apps, coding, and what not. I’d love to hear if any of this resonates with you? email me joe at joefinapps dot com.

*I actually only spent 97% of my budget because the month ended at UTC not local time, so while I had Opus 4.6 churning away to hit 100% in plenty of time, it didn’t matter.
