Between 08:37 and 09:41 UTC on August 31, 2026, GitHub Copilot experienced degradation affecting several GPT models, including gpt-5.2, gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.4-nano, and the gpt-5.6 family (Luna, Sol, and Terra). Users encountered elevated error rates and interrupted streaming responses. Other models were not affected.<br /><br />The degradation was caused by an issue with an upstream model provider. GitHub engineers detected the issue through automated monitoring, displayed in-product warnings for the affected models, and coordinated with the provider. Service returned to normal after the provider implemented a mitigation.
- Monitoring
The issues with our upstream model provider have been resolved, and gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.4-nano, gpt-5.5, and the gpt-5.6 family of models are once again available in Copilot products and IDE surfaces.<br /><br />We will continue monitoring to ensure stability, but mitigation is complete.
- Monitoring
The degradation affecting Copilot AI Model Providers has been mitigated. We are monitoring to ensure stability.
- Investigating
One of our model providers has confirmed an incident on their end. We have provided them details to help identify the issue. We are starting to see recovery.
