Github Copilot Pro+ not allowing Claude Opus 4.6

3 min read Original article ↗

Type: Bug

  1. Open VS Code with Copilot Chat
  2. Click the model selector at the bottom of the chat input box
  3. Try to select Claude Opus 4.6 from the list

Expected: It should be available since I have a Copilot Pro+ subscription
Actual: It shows a message saying "Upgrade to GitHub Copilot Pro" even though I'm already on Pro+

I've verified my GitHub account is on the Pro+ plan. All other models work fine, only Claude Opus 4.6 shows the upgrade prompt.
