Grok 4.6 and Grok 4.7 Service Issues (investigating): “We are experiencing degraded availability for the Grok 4.6 and Grok 4.7 models in Copilot products and IDE surfaces. This is due to an issue with an upstream model provider. While we work with them to resolve the issue, we recommend choosing another model or selecting 'Auto' to continue using Copilot.” Source

We open an incident when GitHub Copilot stops looking normal or GitHub posts an official incident, and close it after 15 minutes with everything back to normal. More about our method.
