Body

Hello I am a Copilot pro paying user

As of today GPT 5.1 GPT 5.1 Codex Max, Gemini 3 Flash, Opus 4.5 and GPT 5.2 models have disappeared in my Visual Studio Code

Is the same issue in Github Copilot settings I am not seeing any models past GPT 5 and also GPT 5 Codex is listed as (Preview) again for me but It used to be out of preview.

I tried everything from support that I could find log out of github and copilot log back in, update everything, reinstall etc.. they are prermanently removed for my account.

I am not sure what is going on. Any thoughts?

Probably related:

• Many GitHub Copilot models suddenly disappeared microsoft/vscode#286403
• AI Model missing microsoft/vscode#286400

[filipworksdev]

Thank you. Yeah is an issue. I figured is too weird that models just vanish like that.

[Yigtwxx]

Hey, I totally feel your frustration. It’s a real headache when you're paying for a Pro sub and the high-end models you rely on (like GPT 5.2 or Opus 4.5) just vanish out of nowhere.

I’ve been looking into this, and it’s definitely not just you—it seems like a widespread glitch on GitHub's backend. Since you’ve already tried all the standard troubleshooting like reinstalling and relogging, you've done your part. There’s likely nothing more you can do on your end except wait for them to patch it up. Don't waste more of your time digging through settings; the ball is in their court.

Hang in there, hopefully, your workflow gets back to normal soon!

If this helps, please mark it as the answer.

[filipworksdev]

Yeah is an issue is being investigated right now. The incident is up https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/183757

[Yigtwxx]

Classic 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' situation. They really managed to mess up a perfectly working system. Hopefully, they’ll get it back online soon!

[Yigtwxx]

[Yigtwxx]

If this helped, I’d appreciate it if you could mark it as the answer.

[richardkooiman]

Fixed for me; models appeared again. However, had to re-connect provider in OpenCode for it to work again.

[itsalb3rt]

In my case, I don't know if it was a coincidence, but logging out of my account and logging back in resolved the issue

[fly-potato-100]

Same problem with my GitHub Copilot Business Edition.
Re-logging didn't work yet.
It's confused that none of other teammates met this issue.
So depressed. :(

[dchemaly]

Also have the same issue but its all of the team members in our organisation. The models are also not listed in github administration panel as well

try this toggling = Ask , Plan , Agent

Hi everyone ,
I just wanted to note that I saw on the GitHub status page that there were a few incidents related to model performance and model availability, and those issues seem to be resolved now.
The only thing I wanted to flag is that VS Code didn’t show the usual “Reload required” notification after these backend changes. Normally Copilot prompts us to reload the extension when there’s an update, but this time there was no message. Because of that, the model list didn’t refresh automatically for us — we had to manually restart VS Code and Toggle Plan , Ask , Agent and for the models to reappear.
Just raising this in case the missing reload prompt is something that needs to be looked into.
It would help users pick up fixes more smoothly in future.
Thanks!

Finally they're back!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to confirm that this incident has been resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we addressed this issue. A detailed root cause analysis will be shared here as soon as it is available.

[maheshjoshiFMG]

Hi @Akash1134 Thank you even though incident has been resolved but the problem is there is no restart notification we got on VS code effect of that until we restart vs code and toggle Ask , Plan , Agent models wont come up back I feel this is the gap !

[nicewaytodoit]

Today I got the same issue.

[filipworksdev]

Hi everyone. I marked this discussion as resolved. Thank you for fixing this so quickly. Also hope this issue has been resolved for everyone.

[costeastefan]

I am on a free trial Copilot Pro and today all my models are missing. Yesterday everything was fine. Running on Linux.
UPDATE: after 10 min it fixed itself, without doing anything. If anyone else experience this, maybe waiting a bit helps.

[silkfire]

This is an unrelated issue that is currently ongoing: https://www.githubstatus.com/

[Tom4sko]

I’m using the PRO package, and the models seem to be missing only for me. Could this be related somehow? Also, the status should be fine.

[maheshjoshiFMG]

@Tom4sko Try this

Hello @maheshjoshiFMG,

thank you for your reply! However, the only fix for me was to click on this link and it automatically reactivated my plan. Here is the link: https://github.com/github-copilot/free_signup

Thanks

@Akash1134 fyi

[denght23]

Hello, I encountered this issue today: my GPT 5.2 model suddenly disappeared, and I can only find GPT5.2-codex now. I've tried restarting, logging out and back into my account, and switching modes, but nothing worked. What should I do?

[xhernandezipsp]

I have the same problem.

[xhernandezipsp]

I just fixed it:

Base path:

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\

Delete (if it exists):

github.copilot-chat

github.copilot

[ucqeco]

5.1, 5.2 Dissapeared for me too...

[ucqe]

Found way to get full list of agents back. But it keeps randomly wiping out after some time of work.

• got my main account logged in
• login another acc with no Pro sub on it > "manage extensions acc pref" > select it
• "manage extensions acc pref" > select main account

this way full list appears for me for some time.
hoping this will be fixed somehow soon =/ its really annoing to work this way

[denght23]

Hey, this actually works, thanks! What a weird bug.

[bassic-nerd]

I am experiencing this issue as well. The models show in my Organization hierarchy (both levels) as enabled. But the VSCode still shows my "old" settings. This is after restarting and re-authing.

[dcolclazier]

I am having this exact issue, and no success with reinstalling, changing settings, deleting globalStorage/copilot folders, re-authentication, etc.

[benyamynbrkyc]

still happening? i just went to turn on opus 4.6 and i can't find it anywhere

[StanlyLife]

same

[gogosol]

Same!

[nicewaytodoit]

Same!

[nbelyh]

same here - updating models on GitHub (organization) does not affect what models are shown in VS Code (it's stuck with the old list)
No workaround works. Restarting login/logout, changing account, deleting that folder - nothing worked

[FabulistVtt]

I signed up today for a business plan. I enabled all models in the organization, but only GPT-4o and GPT-4.1 are available.

Tried:

• Signing in and out
• Uninstalling/reinstalling the plugin
• Deleting app data
• Uninstalling/reinstalling vscode

[FabulistVtt]

Now the models are available. It took 2-3 hours for changes to sync with vscode.

[ricardoschroeder]

I tried the same, so far nothing worked.
Signing in and out
Uninstalling/reinstalling the plugin
Deleting app data
Uninstalling/reinstalling vscode
And waiting 5 hours

[nicewaytodoit]

Tried all of it still models are missing.

[ussdeveloper]

according change.log I should see gpt-5.3-codex model but it is missing

VSCODE Application is up to date, what could be the reason?

[RageshAntony]

@Yigtwxx @Akash1134

For me, VS Code shows Opus 4.6 but not Jetbrains IDEs such as Android Studio and Pycharm. It's also enabled. Why it shows on VS Code but not Jetbrains IDEs?

VS Code:

Android Studio:

Control Panel:

[caledhwa-pnnl]

I feel like this is a bait and switch at this point:

• Blog post goes out
• Enable model in Enterprise and Org
• Some users get it
• Some users don't
• No workaround for refreshing the list.

The fact that no one is responding to this issue is a travesty.

[tuanace]

i got same issue since yesterday and not resolved yet.

[gogosol]

##Same, i am with the same problem now, a bunch of models just stopped working!! Your problem was already solved??

[huancnttuet]

@gogosol some premium models, including GPT-5.4, and Claude Opus and Sonnet models, will no longer be available for self-selection under the GitHub Copilot Student Plan...

#189268

[JoaoQuental]

@gogosol i have the exact same models as you right now, a bunch of models are missing. All Claude models are missing apart from that low cost one. Did you find any solution?

[nicewaytodoit]

I do not know what am I paying if I cannot access the models I paid for ?!

I am getting this same issue of missing all Claude models, GPT 5.4 etc...
I am on Pro ... so ...

Just noticed now it is not just agent missing, Ask and Plan options also missing:

[jcao79m]

I had the same issue since yesterday evening AEST; it was working before. (I have github copilot pro subscription)
I tried all the usual troubleshooting (checking extensions, debugging, reinstalling the extension, even using a different computer and setting up VS Code from scratch).

What fixed it for me was enabling this under Model Preview: (this was disabled by default).

I'm not sure if you need to mess around with the budgets, but i toggled stop usage to no on the top 2 for now, and will adjust my budgets to match once i figure out what that is.

now my premium model is back:

Before adjusting these settings, the models I wanted to use had "contact your administrator", and it was not showing in my model picker under "Manage Model".

I hope this works for you also.

[phantrungdien]

Hello, I encountered the same problem today: how to make the models appear?

VS Code: Version 1.115.0

Please, someone help me, all the models have disappeared, even chatting is no longer working.
Thanks for help! 🙏
