account.getQuota returns the request timestamp as resetDate instead of the quota reset date #4504

Describe the bug

The Copilot CLI JSON-RPC account.getQuota response returns an incorrect resetDate for quota snapshots.

Environment:

  • GitHub Copilot CLI: 1.0.80
  • CLI started with:
    copilot --server --no-auto-update --log-level error --stdio

I sent the following JSON-RPC request:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"account.getQuota","params":{}}

For premium_interactions, the raw response included:

{
"entitlementRequests": 1500,
"usedRequests": 1500,
"remainingPercentage": 0,
"resetDate": "2026-08-15T23:06:14.840-07:00"
}

This timestamp matched the time the account.getQuota request was made, rather than the account's actual premium quota reset date. The same resetDate timestamp was returned for chat, completions, and premium_interactions.

The GitHub Copilot web UI shows the actual billing-cycle reset date, for example:

Resets in 16 days on Sep 1, 2026

The CLI response does not include a separate quota_reset_at or equivalent field.

Because resetDate tracks the request time, CLI/API consumers cannot accurately display when the premium quota resets.

Expected behavior:

  • resetDate should contain the actual quota/billing-cycle reset timestamp; or
  • account.getQuota should expose a separate reset timestamp field for each quota bucket.

Actual behavior:

  • resetDate is effectively the quota-fetch timestamp and changes each time account.getQuota is called.
