Copilot should use the appropriate subscription-based routing within /model experience #346
Description
Describe the bug
I'm unable to select models since v0.0.330 using the /model command in the Copilot CLI.
I'm accessing copilot via my organization account.
I've confirmed in my GitHub Copilot settings the following:

Thank you for raising this concern, @johnsockwell-tributetech! 🙇
I'm still trying to figure out what is going on here, but first I wanted to demonstrate what should be shown via the latest release:

~/.copilot/logs, I'm gonna see if I can reproduce this or at least figure out why all options are coming up blank 🤔andyfeller commentedon Oct 17, 2025
@johnsockwell-tributetech : I'd like to try increasing the log level using
--log-level allto see what is going on here. While I understand 3 of 4 supported models are enabled by policy, I wonder about the new Haiku model but also if there's something else going on here.mkeesey commentedon Oct 20, 2025
I'm seeing the same thing.
My log with

@johnsockwell-tributetech @jianie365 @mkeesey : thank you all for the follow up and additional logs; this is exactly what I needed and will help me get to the bottom of this! 🙇
I want to assure you this is my priority to get to the bottom today.
andyfeller commentedon Oct 21, 2025
My working theory is the
421 Misdirect Requestresponse stems fromcopilotresolving a different subscription API endpoint than the Copilot license you have:This endpoint is resolved via GraphQL based on how you are authenticated:
I'm going to continue investigating what would have changed between
0.0.330and0.0.331to affect the endpoint 🤔For more information, see Managing GitHub Copilot access to your enterprise's network

Thanks, @johnsockwell-tributetech. I have a suspicion that
copilotis picking up on multiple authentication tokens while trying to resolve the Copilot API to talk with. This information is currently only displayed in the console and not the logs, so I'm working on a hotfix to capture more information about what is going on and provide better guidance to resolve.7 remaining items

@johnsockwell-tributetech : When it is convenient, I would appreciate your help testing out the logging changes in
0.0.350. Meanwhile, I'm working to put more logging in place and investigating howcopilotis being told to hitapi.individual.githubcopilot.com. 🙇andyfeller commentedon Oct 24, 2025
@johnsockwell-tributetech : Outside of
copilot, I would like to enable a feature flag that affects how we resolve Copilot information around your account if you are okay with it.johnsockwell-tributetech commentedon Oct 27, 2025

gridsandspaces commentedon Oct 29, 2025
I finally resolved this for myself by generating a fine-grained access token on my business account, selecting all of the copilot-related permissions. Once this was set in my .zshrc file, the Copilot CLI correctly detected my business settings and loaded all the models. When trying to sign in using
gh auth loginandcopilot /loginit would always attempt to usehttps://api.individual.githubcopilot.com/and failed with the 421 misdirected error.andyfeller commentedon Oct 29, 2025

I'm hopeful tomorrow that we will have a more concrete update of what is going on and what we need to resolve. 🙇
UPDATE: There is a prerelease with some final client-side logging changes I'd love for you to test out in

@andyfeller I've followed up my earlier tests now that my quota has reset. In summary, v0.0.354-0 displays the models as I'm expecting & I can successfully query. However, I suspect there may still be an issue with model permissions.
Below is a screenshot of my Settings->Copilot->Features screen:

@johnsockwell-tributetech : Nice work! I would like to pull this into a separate issue as I believe you found a legitimate issue where a model that is unconfigured at both the enterprise and organization levels is not being removed as an option in
copilot.Yesterday evening, we shipped some enhancements to GitHub Copilot API resolution that I have opted you into. I think you were fortunate yesterday with the current behavior completing at a reasonable time to move things along, so I'd like your help vetting these enhancements. 🙇
If there's anyone else still having issues retrieving
/modellisting, please mention me and I'll be happy to work with you to enable this and verify it addresses the concern.UPDATE: Created #473 for this follow up
[-]Cannot select models since v.0.0.330[/-][+]Copilot should use the appropriate subscription-based routing within `/model` experience[/+]andyfeller commentedon Nov 6, 2025
This week, we've rolled out changes on GitHub.com to ensure Copilot integrations like GitHub Copilot CLI can reliably resolve subscription-based routing. Thanks to everyone who has been patient and contributed to this issue! 🙇
Prior to
0.0.330release, users were presented a static, hardcoded list of models to choose from. This prevented users from taking advantage of new models while preventing organizations and enterprises from managing model policies effectively.What's next?
I'm going to close this issue as I've confirmed the GitHub.com changes appear to have addressed the 421 Misdirected Request error we've been seeing in GitHub Copilot CLI logs.
I'd like to ask folks to upgrade to the latest version of GitHub Copilot CLI to ensure this issue is fully addressed for them. Again, using older versions will prevent users from picking up new models, features, bug fixes, and more.
Please follow up here or open a new issue if you continue to see 421 Misdirected Request error! 💪
