VS Code 1.118's Token Cuts Make Copilot's Billing Switch a Harder Sell
VS Code 1.118 shipped two days after GitHub announced usage-based billing, and the timing isn't a coincidence - it's a confession.

The principles behind every article on this site
Every article is written from current web research — not from what an AI model already knows. Specs, prices, and release dates are sourced from live pages before being written into any article.
Key claims are checked against multiple independent sources before being published. When sources disagree, the article presents both figures with attribution — readers can judge the discrepancy themselves.
Claims are linked directly to the source pages that support them. Every fact can be traced back without a separate reference list.
Articles give concrete answers — not "it depends" hedging designed to avoid taking a position. When the data supports a recommendation, the article makes one. Read our editorial standards →
How AnIntent works, in plain terms
AnIntent is an independent publication covering technology and automotive topics that readers are actively searching for: which laptop to buy, how a new chip changes real-world performance, what a major product launch means in practice, how EV charging infrastructure is evolving, and whether a hyped product is actually worth the money.
Every article is researched from live sources at the time of writing. Specs, launch prices, release details, compatibility claims, and product changes are sourced from current pages before being written into any article, attributed to where they came from, and cross-checked against independent sources wherever possible.
The editorial stance is direct: articles give recommendations where the evidence supports them, present trade-offs honestly, and don't hedge opinions to avoid controversy. If something is a poor value, the article says so plainly.
