Auth error: Invalid copilot token

[raidel-a]

Hi everyone,

Hi, I have complimentary access to Copilot via the student dev pack,
only really use it for writing commit messages but I started getting auth errors recently first in Vim then in VSCode when I opened it to check. Tried looking around and tried a myriad of "fixes" and still getting the following:

You've probably read the Copilot section on our GitHub Education SDP FAQ but I'll list it anyway: I’m a verified student/teacher, but my Copilot is not working. What do I do?.

Can I ask what fixes have you already tried?

Hi, thanks for the response
I did in fact read the FAQ,
confirmed Im still in the Github Student Developer program.

In terms of attempted fixes these the main along with other misc. things:

• Signed out and back in to GitHub
• Tested on different network connection
• Ensured my system can resolve githubusercontent.com domains
• Re-synced system time verifying it was correct (for certificate validation)

But I did notice when I go to the Copilot page it appears its disabled and not toggle-able for some but not others.
