Hi @kslars1, That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially after you've already gone through the "nuclear option" of reinstalling both the extension and VS Code itself. The error "Chat took too long to start" combined with "Language model unavailable" usually points to a handshake failure between your local machine and GitHubβs inference servers. Since you've already tried the basics, the issue likely lies in a corrupted local credential store or a network-level block. Here are a few deeper troubleshooting steps to try:
Windows: Open Credential Manager > Windows Credentials. Look for any entries related to git:https://github.com or vscode-github.login and remove them. macOS: Open Keychain Access, search for GitHub or vscode, and delete the tokens. After doing this, restart VS Code and try to sign in fresh.
Go to the Extensions view in VS Code. Right-click GitHub Copilot Chat. Select "Switch to Pre-Release Version". Do the same for the base GitHub Copilot extension. Reload VS Code.
Try disabling your VPN or switching to a mobile hotspot briefly to see if it starts working. If it does, you'll need to whitelist *.githubcopilot.com.
Status: Although githubstatus.com might be green, there have been reports today (April 15) of intermittent "Language Model Unavailable" errors for specific regions. Final Suggestion: |

I keep getting this error now out of nowhere when trying to use github copilot from within vs code. I have signed in and out of github, I have disabled, uninstalled and reinstalled the github copilot extension, i have uninstalled and reinstalled vs code - everything i can think of - but no matter what, when i try to open up github copilot chat - it starts off looking like its going to work - says starting chat, chat almost ready, then it fails and says chat took too long to start, and language model unavailable. Any thoughts?
