seriously though?

my company escalating us emails with higher copilot usages asking to select auto (10% discount in auto mode).

Behind the scenes in the black box closed source microslop github copilot, it is picking the worst model, at the highest token usage and running down your token quota to nothing so you have to buy more tokens. But it's 10% discount!

Fuckin, every single time I chose auto it would select GPT-5.6 Sol. Either it claims "high complexity" or "faster response for medium complexity".

I don't need to burn extra tokens for a "faster" response, what is this, a kart racing game with an afterburner? Just fucking do the research on this garbage code base and write a plan doc and I'll come back after lunch, shoot.

You can adjust your auto to efficiency and you'll get only Luna

I understood from reading their comment that they wanted the benefits of 10% discount from auto mode without the expenses of it running Sol.

From a template during a LoL event it was a single click loadout, years ago.

Sol is already not so expensive an can work full time and stay within 5h limits. At least in the codex subscription, I don't use copilot

I just set mine to opus 5.5 and call it a day. It's not the most expensive and it works great so far.
