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.

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.

'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. 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.

    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...
