Your biggest Claude Code days (Mar 5 $12.78, Mar 19 $15.08, Mar 24 $14.40) had completely ordinary Copilot usage. These were deep Claude Code sessions — long agentic runs, heavy caching, large context — where you weren't leaning on Copilot at all. The tools are serving different workflows, not the same one.

<strong>The one exception is March 31 — both peaked simultaneously. Claude Code hit $19.07 AND Copilot hit 64 premium requests ($3.82 variable). That was your highest-intensity day across the board, and the SWE agent was also running across 4 repos. You were clearly shipping something big.

Copilot's real cost picture: The $53.44 is a bit misleading — $39.04 of it is the flat enterprise license you pay regardless of usage. Your actual variable Copilot spend was only $14.40 for the month. That's 306 premium requests at $0.04 each, averaging about 10 requests on active days. Lean and consistent.

The SWE agent is worth watching. copilot-swe-agent barely appeared early in the month (15 mins on Mar 3), then exploded: 169 mins across 5 repos on Mar 9, 168 mins on Mar 21, and 133 + 122 mins on Mar 31/Apr 1. You're delegating more autonomous work to it, and it's running across more repos each time.

Combined picture: You're running a $170/month AI-assisted dev setup — Claude Code handles the heavy agentic coding ($117), Copilot handles inline/IDE-level work ($14 variable), and the SWE agent is emerging as a third layer for parallel autonomous tasks. The tools aren't redundant; they're operating at different levels of the stack.
