      This is why I'm cautious about tools that become too integrated into daily workflow. When Copilot goes down, entire teams slow to a crawl. Don't get me wrong - AI coding assistants are incredibly useful. But building dependencies on external services for core development work creates single points of failure. Always have a backup plan for when your tools inevitably break.

        I was logged out automatically from GitHub Copilot. Logging in again had no effect. For a few minutes the status page https://www.githubstatus.com/ showed just "Issues" and "API Requests" were down but now even Copilot itself is showing up as degraded.

          'There seems to be a problem with your account. Please contact Github support' is what I get in my vscode extension.

            Same issue, if I look at the copilot logs I see "[info] [auth] Invalid copilot token: missing token: 403". Seems like the issue is on their side though, judging by general website issues.

            GitHub seems to be down as a whole.

              Same, shows error code in IDE and at github.com copilot settings.

                  https://www.githubstatus.com/

                  seems issues on API as well

                  • everytime I look at these AI coding systems I think of this classic junji ito story.

                    written long before any of this stuff existed but somehow very relevant.

                      Man, I was about to go to sleep...

                    • same. VSCode told me my subscription ended and I can't find copilot on our org settings page.

                        I've seen those messages over the past week, they're usually temporary.

                          Github seems to be having a general outage, we're not able to view pull requests

                          • lrecio 1 day ago

                            Up

                            • Anyone still facing the same issue?

                              • sandos 19 hours ago

                                Havigng severe issues even now, 15 hours later. It has been working for a couple of hours, but with cut-off replies and general slowness.

                                Edit: Only in VS Code it seems, VS works...

                                Yes.
