Worse service for over double the price. By Grabthar's hammer... what a savings.

It's interesting that the API token cost of GPT-5.5 is double the cost of GPT-5.4, but Copilot charges a 7.5x multiplier and gates the model in premium plans. Clearly, they severely underpriced previous models like GPT-5.4 which they sell at $0.04 per request -- and these models can of course work for 30+ minutes in response to a single request and incur costs of several dollars.

As of this week, the "request" gravy train is over. Github copilot now meters tokens not requests.

why don't we go to chatgpt plans direct? GPT-5.5 is about 2x over GPT-5.4 there.
