  5. Resolved

    On May 28th, 2026, between approximately 18:27 and 20:41 UTC, the GitHub Copilot service was degraded due to an issue with the Responses API of an upstream provider affecting the GPT-5.2, GPT-5.3-Codex, GPT-5.4, and GPT-5.5 models. Requests routed to these models via the Responses API returned elevated error rates, which also affected Copilot coding agent and Copilot code review. No other models were impacted. <br /><br />We mitigated the incident by shifting traffic away from the affected models while the upstream provider deployed a fix. <br /><br />GitHub is working to improve automated failover for the affected models and strengthen monitoring to prevent similar incidents in the future.
