Sorry, the response hit the length limit. But Copilot didn't respond or edit anything. #308627

Sorry, the response hit the length limit. Please rephrase your prompt.

  1. What length limit?
  2. Where do I find the length limit?
  3. Where do I observe how much of the limit has been used?
Image
  1. How do I discover which factors tend to use more of the length limit?
  2. If Copilot "responded" so much that "the response hit the length limit," but it didn't tell me anything in chat, and it didn't edit any files, what can I do to "capture" the benefit of the excessively long response?
  3. If I push the "Try Again" button, shouldn't I expect "the response [to] hit the length limit" again, or does the "Try Again" button change something so it's unlikely to "hit the length limit"?
  4. If the "Try Again" button changes something, can I change the same thing now to prevent this problem later?
  5. Did I just use 1-2% of my quota on this? Edit_the_docstrings_in__file_device_py___but_prete_exports.tar.gz the_attached_file_has_repos_belonging_to_lucidrain_exports.tar.gz
