No matter what I type into Copilot I get "I'm sorry but there was an error. Please try again.". The first time I used Copilot after setting up my free account I had no issues. When I tried a couple of weeks later, I had this issue that was only resolved when I found an email from Github with a launch code. When I did that, copilot started working again. Now the issue started again. I am accessing from the web on a chrome browser. I tried logging out and in again, but that did not work. Thanks for the help

Same error message

This seems to consistently happen after a few questions have already been asked that have finally narrowed down the problem but not quite gotten there yet. I wonder if it is a context space issue or similar?

Same error message and especially claude 4

Yes, claude sonnet 4, i have been getting this since yesterday, its annoying since you can't continue

I suppose it could be due to blocking of some countries or regional restrictions.
In the browser you can see the following request.

GET https://github.com/github-copilot/chat/entitlement

{
    "licenseType": "licensed_limited",
    "quotas":
    {
        "limits":
        {
            "chat": 500,
            "completions": 4000
        },
        "remaining":
        {
            "chat": 500,
            "completions": 4000
        },
        "resetDate": "2025-06-03",
        "overagesEnabled": false
    },

}

How did you get this?

[nafanz]

I pressed F12 in Google Chrome, opened the Network tab and looked at what requests were being executed when I called up the dialog.

[Adrakir]

Bei mir auch, teilweise ohne das Claude irgendwas gemacht hat. Das geht schon seit Tagen so.

I found a way out of this it involvs chnaging to another model but as you know it's normally not allowed what i did was to sign in on another device open copilot and by default the model eing used is GPT 4.1 click on the convo giving me the issue and when i do for some reason the model now showing there is still 4.1 then just paste a prompt and it works, the downside is you have to switch from claude but i is better than starting a new conversation and normally swithing models does not even work normally if i encounter again i will send image for guide

Same BLACK OUT issue...
It's really annoying when you're in the middle of a conservation and you have to start a new one, which means everything gets lost. Sometimes I freak out!!!
