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.

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.

'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.

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