Is GitHub Copilot down?
This page asks GitHub’s own status feed, straight from your browser, when you open it and once a minute while it stays open. It shows what GitHub reports and never fills in a gap with a guess.
Not checked
Checking needs JavaScript, which is off or has not loaded. GitHub’s own page has the answer: www.githubstatus.com.
What this checks
Copilot, and the AI models behind it. Not ordinary saving and sharing of code, that is a different row we do not draw. On this page that means the parts on GitHub’s status page whose names include “copilot”.
- The list appears after the live check.
Open incidents
Anything open appears here after the live check.
Recent incidents
Finished incidents from the last 30 days appear here after the live check.
If it is down
- This page checks Copilot only: the parts GitHub names Copilot. A problem with pushing code, Actions or Pages will not show here; githubstatus.com has those.
- If GitHub reports no problems and it still fails, the cause is more likely on your side: your key, your code or your network. The error explainers cover the common messages.
- A status page shows what the company has reported. A problem that has started but has not been reported yet will not show here, so if the answer above is no and something still fails for everyone you know, check again in a few minutes.
- Do not rewrite working code to chase an outage. Commit what you have now, so that when the service is back you can tell whether anything you changed in the meantime broke something.
- Down? Save your place before you switch tools: Cold Handoff writes the note you paste into the next session, so it picks up where this one stopped instead of starting over.
Where this comes from
Your browser reads www.githubstatus.com/api/v2/summary.json and, once per visit, www.githubstatus.com/api/v2/incidents.json for the history.
The request goes straight to GitHub, without cookies, and does not pass through this site. The same feed drives the
GitHub Copilot row on the Vibe Board, which shows all 7 services at once.
