Copilot in GitHub

Body

I applied for student developer pack after 2 days i got a mail as thanks for joning github student pack, but while availing the the given link it is showing me as github copilot free version only!

I have a similar issue with my subscription. I was approved on April 27th, but Copilot remains in Free mode.

It may take some time for the Student Developer Pack benefits to fully activate across all GitHub services, including Copilot.

A few things you can try:

• log out and log back into GitHub
• check whether your Student Pack status shows as fully approved in your GitHub Education settings
• visit the Copilot settings/subscription page directly and verify whether the student benefit is listed there
• sometimes the upgrade propagation can take 24–72 additional hours after approval

If it still shows only the Free plan after that, you can contact GitHub Education or Copilot support directly through:

• https://support.github.com/
• https://github.com/education
• GitHub Education support form: https://support.github.com/contact/education

GitHub usually does not provide a public phone support number, so the support portal is the best option.

Copilot Student pack is worthless, they removed everything useful out of it.

Not even remotely worth the effort, they killed the student pack.
