claude sonnet & claude opus issues with pro account #189903

This looks more like a rollout/regression on GitHub’s side than something wrong with your account. GitHub’s docs say Copilot Pro includes access to premium models, but Pro+ gets “full access to all available models,” so model availability can differ by plan and rollout state. GitHub also said Claude Opus 4.6 was rolling out gradually, and there are fresh community reports from March 16–17 of Claude models disappearing from the picker. Make sure VS Code / the Copilot extension is fully updated and sign out/in once, but if it’s still missing, open a support ticket because others are reporting the same thing |

If you are on a paid Copilot Pro account (not the free Student plan), this is a known issue that started around March 16, 2026. Many Pro users have reported premium models like Claude Sonnet and Opus disappearing from the picker. |

I am getting the same request I have pro account myself .. the simple answer github is giving is that they want to be "fair" . So if you are using premium requests heavily ...which you are paying for .. they'll hit you with the Too many request error / You have been rate limited error so that all users can use copilot and they can distribute compute evenly among users |

I have Copilot Pro but I no longer see Claude Sonnet and Opus in VS Code or browser model picker. I had access last week. Is this a rollout issue?
