Copilot Access Ended Even Though Still a Student

Hey,
I had signed up for a student account in june after using copilot technical preview which had given me student access. At some point I got an email that my access was extended and that it would end today. I had seen this in another issue on this discussions board so I thought nothing of it as it was answered as a bug also. Today it ended like the email said with the message "Thank you for participating in the GitHub Copilot Technical Preview. Your extended access has ended.". Even though I am on a student account that is still verified.

With a verified student account and after methods listed for troubleshooting I checked my GitHub page for copilot in automation and yes, it was making me go ahead an purchase a plan. I am not too sure If I need to re-verify my student account but when tried to do so it did not let me so I am guessing thats not it.

Hi there,

Thank you everyone for taking the time to report and we apologize for the temporary technical issue on our end that may have caused authentication failures. If you are a verified student please retry logging into your IDE plugin, and Copilot should work as expected.
If you run into any further issues, please reply back in detail with any useful screenshots.

[prakharrathi25]

Working now, thanks!

Copilot was working but it seems that it is no longer linked to my account even though I use student email and my account seems to be accredited as a student account. Github username:rielmvp.

Until now, my account is still: "Thank you for participating in the GitHub Copilot Technical Preview. Your extended access has ended". Please double-check!

My student CoPilot access reverted back again to "thank you for partiticpating" and it's not available with pycharm or VS code.

[Pedro08994]

Gracias. Parece estar funcionando de nuevo.

[codergautam]

I am glad this is getting solved for people, but recently I started having this issue as well. Should I create a new support ticket? Thanks

[ninh-nd]

Guess they haven't really fixed it completely. Same boat here

[davidlechuga]

i have the answe, just change the version of the plugin and reload the window of vscode.

[donRehan]

I am still getting this error , I have a student account.
I tried logging out and logging in , Uninstalling Copilot and installing it and nothing seems to change.

Invalid copilot token: missing token: 403
GitHub Copilot could not connect to server. Extension activation failed: "Thank you for using GitHub Copilot. Your subscription has ended."

[jacob-02]

I'm also facing the same issue

[saltedfish68]

Hi there,
I have same issue!
could you pleas help me check as well? Thanks in advance!

You can check if your account was flagged or not. Once I started getting these issues more than 3 weeks back, I poked around and saw that my account was flagged for some reason. Since then I have raised a ticket (3 weeks back), but am yet to get any response from the GitHub support team.

It is just sad that all my work is tied to this one account, which I can't use for so long because GitHub support is not taking any action for this long. In case your account is also flagged, you can search 'GitHub Reinstatement Request' and you will find where you have to initiate a ticket.
