Copilot + OpenRouter agent workflow is getting too expensive — what are you guys using instead?

I think I’m hitting the limit of the Github Copilot + OpenRouter workflow financially.

My setup:

  • PhpStorm
  • Github Copilot extension
  • OpenRouter
  • mostly DeepSeek V4 Flash in agent mode

I don’t really use autocomplete. Mostly:

  • repo-wide agent tasks
  • multi-file edits
  • refactors
  • long context prompts

What shocked me:

Another user using:

  • DeepSeek native API
  • OpenCode

did:

  • 622 requests
  • 85M tokens
  • paid only $0.76

(https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1ta41b5/comment/ol9g8al/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

Meanwhile I did:

  • 216 requests
  • 20.7M tokens
  • paid $3.09

So now I’m wondering if Copilot/OpenRouter orchestration overhead is the real cost issue.

The problem is I’m extremely attached to Copilot UX:

  • diff view
  • rollback
  • patch review/apply

What are other heavy Copilot users doing now?

Has anyone moved to:

  • OpenCode
  • Continue
  • Claude Code
  • anything else

without missing the Copilot workflow too much?

Open to any suggestions that still feel somewhat close to the Github Copilot experience.

Studying in Brugge, registered in Wallonia (Leuze), but staying in Brussels – Any red flags for my A-Card?

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student starting a postgraduate program at Brugge this September. I have a specific question regarding my registration (domiciliation) and how it might be perceived by the authorities (Foreigners Office/DVZ).

The Situation: I’ll be living with my girlfriend in Brussels during the week. Since finding a kot that allows registration in Brussels is both a nightmare and very expensive, we found a "no registration" place there to save costs.

The Plan: I plan to do my official registration (domiciliation) at my girlfriend’s parents’ house in Leuze-en-Hainaut.

  • The House: There are no space/capacity issues for an extra person.
  • The Relationship: I’ve known her parents for a long time and have actually lived with them before, so they are 100% supportive of this and "ok" with the police check.
  • The Routine: We will spend every weekend there, and my personal belongings (desk, clothes, etc.) will be permanently in that house.

The Concern: The distance between Leuze-en-Hainaut and Brugge is about 100km. My main worry is the Wijkagent (police check) and the Foreigners Office.

  1. Will the police or the municipality find it "suspicious" that I’m registered so far from my university?
  2. Can the Foreigners Office deny my A-Card because they think the commute is unrealistic, even if the police approve the address and the parents confirm I live there?
  3. I plan to apply for a Search Year after graduation. If I graduate without issues, will this "distance" thing from my student years come back to haunt me?

I’m really trying to avoid paying double rent or overpriced "registration-allowed" kots. Has anyone lived in a different province/region than their university? Any advice on how to handle the police interview if they ask about the commute?

Thanks in advance for the help!
