Greetings, i'm a student, and lately i've been using copilot for writing some part of my code and then asking it to write summary to teach me what is happening to the code. Also I've been using copilot in Agent Mode in order to do this. I've received a mail from the github support telling me the following

I'm using copilot just in vscode with the agent mode and help writing mode and ask mode when I get some issues. I don't think I'm using it too much to cause such response, I've installed some extension like code rabbit and mcp copilot (this one I've not used either). Now I uninstalled them because I think they could be responsible in some way of doing too much calls to the API, did someone received the same warning?

Thank you for you attention,
