Fixed typo: renamed billing period id Issue ticket number and link Link to related PR Checklist before requesting a review I have run linting and formatting I have added new tests if this is a core feature I have passed all tests Quickly spin up Copilot coding agent tasks from anywhere on your macOS or Windows machine with Raycast. This is horrific. I knew this kind of bullshit would happen eventually, but I didn't expect it so soon.

Then, they die. – Cory Doctorow
