Where Did All My Credits Go? Understanding and Reducing Token Usage in GitHub Copilot

Since June 1, every Copilot interaction is billed by tokens, and the internet is full of tricks that promise 60, 70, even 95 percent savings. But which of them hold up? In this talk, I explain how tokens and AI credits actually work, show how to measure your own usage with tools you already have, and put several popular reduction techniques to the test on real tasks from my own repositories — with honest numbers instead of headline percentages. You'll leave knowing where your credits go and how to check any savings claim yourself.
