One big reason to pay for Microsoft’s Copilot Pro is priority access to it’s AI offering. According to Windows Central, that isn’t going to plan:

Microsoft’s Windows lead, Mikhail Parakhin, ruled out the possibility of the issue being Server-related and pointed fingers at Microsoft’s Edge’s Efficiency Mode.
