GitHub seems to be down as a whole.

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

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

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

'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.

Yes.

seems issues on API as well

ericmutta• 11 months ago

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.

Anyone still facing the same issue?

sandos• 11 months 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...

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...

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

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.
