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.

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.

GitHub seems to be down as a whole.

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. 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

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