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.

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

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.

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

seems issues on API as well

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

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