About GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is the code-completion and AI pair-programming product from GitHub, used across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, Visual Studio, and the GitHub web UI. The product layers include inline completions (ghost text), Copilot Chat (IDE side-panel), Copilot Workspace (GitHub issue-to-PR flow), Copilot Enterprise features (codebase-aware answers, pull-request summaries), and the Copilot CLI. Outages typically show up as inline completions silently disappearing (no suggestions arrive as you type), Chat messages timing out, or PR summaries failing to generate. Because Copilot is a premium paid feature, prolonged outages trigger pro-rata credit requests.

The official GitHub Copilot status page is at www.githubstatus.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or even hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.

Where is the official GitHub Copilot status page?+

The official GitHub Copilot status page is at https://www.githubstatus.com/. However, official status pages often lag behind real outages. Visual Sentinel detects GitHub Copilot issues independently with 60-second checks from multiple global regions.

Why do Copilot completions silently stop appearing in VS Code?+

Copilot fails open, meaning if completions cannot reach the backend, the IDE just shows no suggestions rather than an error. Check the Copilot status indicator in the VS Code status bar. If it shows red or a warning, that is an outage signal.

Does a Copilot outage also break GitHub.com itself?+

No. Copilot runs on separate infrastructure from core GitHub (Git hosting, Actions, Pages). Copilot-specific incidents leave repos, pull requests, and Actions working normally. The githubstatus.com page lists Copilot as its own row.
