Ecosystem dependencies
Depends on: GitHub auth, VS Code (or JetBrains) extension host, upstream model backendsOften confused with: Microsoft Copilot (separate product)Cascading failures: if GitHub auth fails, Copilot + Actions + Codespaces all fail togetherGitHub org policy can disable CLI/features independently of the base subscription
Operator notes
- A significant share of user-reported Copilot incidents turn out to be auth, licensing, or org-policy issues rather than a platform-wide outage
- The githubstatus.com Copilot component is separate from API and Actions — verify you're reading the right component
- api.githubcopilot.com must be whitelisted in enterprise proxies; TLS cert interception by corporate proxies is a common silent failure mode
- Enterprise admins can disable Copilot at org level — a whole team suddenly losing Copilot is often a policy change, not an outage
- Copilot CLI is officially documented and available on all paid plans subject to org policy
Diagnostic signals
$ copilot --version — verify CLI installed and authenticated$ Check GitHub auth status in IDE: reload window, check sign-in in command palette$ curl -I https://api.githubcopilot.com — verify api.githubcopilot.com reachable$ Check githubstatus.com Copilot component specifically (not just overall GitHub status)
