Copilot Limit After Acquiring GitHub Education benefits

[Chauncy-Tu]

Hi everyone,

I have already acquired the GitHub Education benefits and have been using Github Copilot in VSCode these days. However, it reminded me that the Copilot Limit Reached today? I wonder how to fix it. Many thanks!

If you're seeing a "Copilot Limit Reached" message, try the following:

1. Check Usage: Ensure you haven't exceeded your usage limits for GitHub Copilot.
2. Wait for Reset: Limits typically reset after a certain period, so you may need to wait.
3. Log Out and Back In: This can resolve temporary issues.
4. Update VSCode: Make sure you're using the latest version of VSCode and the Copilot extension.
5. Check GitHub Status: Visit the GitHub Status page for any service disruptions.
6. Contact Support: If the issue persists, reach out to GitHub Support for help.

These steps should help you resolve the issue!

Hi @Chauncy-Tu ,

This is due to an issue affecting complimentary access to GitHub Copilot Pro, although it should be fixed now.
For more details, see this post.

Thank you all! I have fixed this problem. As you have mentioned maybe there is still some synchronization problem with complimentary access to GitHub Copilot Pro, I entered the upgrade website for GitHub Copilot Pro in VScode and it switched to this website

Then I start VS Code from here and it turns out that the completion is back.

I currently have access to GitHub Copilot through the GitHub Education benefits and have been using it regularly in VS Code. However, today I received a notification saying "Copilot Limit Reached."
How I can resolve it? I’d like to continue using Copilot under my Education plan without interruptions.

Hello there, when you got your benefits did you follow the link to activate copilot pro?

[farhanishtiyak]

Yes, I had already been verified for the GitHub Student Developer Pack since January 2025.

After updating Visual Studio Code, I noticed that GitHub Copilot is showing a limit on premium requests, even though I have an active Copilot Pro subscription.

A couple of months ago, I encountered the same issue. At that time, I was able to resolve it by redeeming the student offer through this link:
https://education.github.com/pack/redeem/copilot-student

However, that link now redirects to:
https://github.com/settings/copilot/features
and the previous student redemption process is no longer accessible.

For reference, my verified student email is:

Please let me know how I can restore the full Copilot access under the Student Developer Pack.
