1. Submit a prompt. In response to your prompt, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} streams the edits in the editor, updates the working set, and if necessary, suggests terminal commands to run.
1. Review the changes. If {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} suggested terminal commands, confirm whether or not {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} can run them. In response, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} iterates and performs additional actions to complete the task in your original prompt.

When you use agent mode, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} may make multiple premium requests to complete a single task. This includes both user-initiated prompts and follow-up actions {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} takes on your behalf. The total premium requests used will depend on the complexity of the task, the number of steps involved, and the model selected. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-copilot-as-an-individual-subscriber/monitoring-usage-and-entitlements/avoiding-unexpected-copilot-costs).
When you use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_agent_short %} mode, each prompt you enter counts as one premium request, multiplied by the model’s multiplier. For example, if you're using the included model—which has a multiplier of 0—your prompts won’t consume any premium requests. {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} may take several follow-up actions to complete your task, but these follow-up actions do **not** count toward your premium request usage. Only the prompts you enter are billed—tool calls or background steps taken by the agent are not charged.
