Hey everyone,

I’m running into a confusing issue with GitHub Copilot and wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this.

I got the GitHub Pro (Student/Educational) subscription back in January and was using Copilot regularly until March. Then I took a break from coding for a while.

Now I’ve come back and started using Visual Studio Code again, but things seem off:

• Many models are showing as not available
• Some models show an “Upgrade” button, even though I already have the educational Pro subscription
• About a week ago, after just 5–6 prompts, Copilot told me I had exceeded my credit limit. But when I checked my usage in GitHub settings, it clearly showed I had used only about 3% of my April premium requests.

So basically, VS Code says I’m out of limits or need to upgrade, where GitHub says I’ve barely used anything

This mismatch is really confusing.

Has anyone faced something similar?
Is this a bug, a policy change, or am I missing something about how usage/credits are counted now?

Any help would be appreciated.
