Weekly rate limiting #2828

Description

@jonmn

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

When being rate limited include suggestions on how to proceed

Proposed solution

Currently, out of the blue, this message will pop up:

You've reached your weekly rate limit. Please wait for your limit to reset on April 20, 2026 at 2:00 AM or switch to
auto model to continue. Learn More (https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/rate-limits). (Request ID:
D0BC:2556F:2EE648C:3A017D8:69E3DE2E)

There is no way of deciphering what to do next. Is it all models that are limited? Can I continue from where you blocked me from working?

The suggested "auto" mode is not good enough. I don't want my planning / architectural decisions to be made by Claude Haiku for instance.
