About GitHub Copilot
AIWatch Data: GitHub Copilot's reported uptime is 99.98%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 10 incidents with an average recovery time of 1h 18m.
GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered coding assistant by Microsoft that integrates with VS Code, JetBrains, and other IDEs. It provides real-time code suggestions, chat assistance, and automated pull request reviews.
AIWatch Insight: GitHub Copilot incidents often overlap with broader GitHub infrastructure issues (Git operations, Actions, Codespaces). AIWatch tracks Copilot-specific incidents separately, but when GitHub itself is degraded, Copilot is almost always affected. Copilot Coding Agent is a newer feature with its own distinct failure patterns.
When GitHub Copilot is down, developers lose AI code completions and chat assistance in their IDE. Copilot Coding Agent sessions and automated reviews will also be unavailable.
