Which Editor or CLI-Chat should i use for minimal premium requests usage per prompt?

Help/Doubt ❓

I am a college student so I use student plan...

I figured this issue might've been addressed on this sub many times before but as of now I am looking for an answer that is based on recent context.

what is the best way to use my github copilot subscription so that it uses the least amount of premium request from my monthly quota per prompt?

  1. copilot-cli

  2. VSCode's integrated copilot chat

  3. Zed's Chat with github-auth

  4. opencode with github-auth?
