Restarting copilot uses AI credits #3886

Description

@laeubi

Describe the bug

Since a while now using /restart or /resume (also /update) consumes non trivial amount of AI credits.

According to my experience there seem to be a somehow fixed amount of 174 AI credits being consumed (not sure where this number comes from). According to https://docs.github.com/de/copilot/concepts/billing/usage-based-billing-for-individuals an AI credit costs 0.01 $ resulting in an amount of 1,74 $ charged for ... nothing!

Affected version

No response

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  • Do some work in copilot cli
  • Use /restart
  • Exit copilot without doing anything
  • You see the session used 174 AI credits even though not a single prompt was submitted

Expected behavior

I can restart/resume without getting charged until actually work is performed!
