Issue. Trial Pro Membership. Copilot in VS says upgrade

[kerestrophy]

Hello Community

I have a problem with copilot in
Visual Studio Code Version: 1.108.1 (user setup)
Commit: 585eba7c0c34fd6b30faac7c62a42050bfbc0086
Date: 2026-01-14T14:55:44.241Z
Electron: 39.2.7
ElectronBuildId: 12953945
Chromium: 142.0.7444.235
Node.js: 22.21.1
V8: 14.2.231.21-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100

I have upgraded to pro but nothing has changed in VSC. When I write something in the Copilot chat then I still see the alert:
"You've reached your monthly chat messages quota. Upgrade to Copilot Pro (30-day free trial) or wait for your allowance to renew.

Upgrade to GitHub Copilot Pro"

I have tried to reinstall everything but its still the same alert. Can anyone help me in this issue?

Greetings

You need to force VS Code to discard the old token and request a new one with the "Pro" status.

Step 1

1. In VS Code, look at the bottom-left Accounts icon (the person circle).
2. Click it and select Sign out of GitHub.
3. Completely close VS Code (all windows).
4. Wait 10 seconds to ensure the process terminates.
5. Re-open VS Code.

Step 2

1. Click the Accounts icon again (or try to use Copilot Chat).
2. It will prompt you to Sign In. Proceed with the browser flow.
3. This new login will generate a fresh token that includes your new "Pro" entitlement.

Step 3

If it still fails, we need to see exactly what GitHub thinks you are logged in as.

1. Open the Output panel (Ctrl + Shift + U or View > Output).
2. In the dropdown (top-right of the panel), select GitHub Copilot Chat.
3. Look for a line near the top that says [INFO] [auth] Logged in as <username>.
   • If this username is wrong, you have a cached credential conflict.
   • If the username is right but the error persists, please paste the last 5 lines of this log here so I can see the specific API rejection code.

Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

Restart Visual Studio Code and check if the alert goes away after restarting. Sometimes, VSC can get stuck in a bad state that can be resolved by simply restarting the app.
Check your internet connection and ensure that it's stable and working properly. Copilot relies on a network connection to function correctly, so any issues with your internet connection could cause problems.
Try closing and reopening the Copilot window in VSC. Sometimes, simply closing and reopening the window can help resolve temporary issues.
If none of these steps work, you may need to wait for the issue to resolve itself or seek assistance from the Visual Studio Code team. They may be able to provide more information about what's causing the error and how to fix it.
In the meantime, you can continue using Copilot in VSC with your Pro membership, but the alert will remain until the issue is resolved.
