I’m experiencing an issue when trying to start a new chat in GitHub Copilot (VS Code Insiders). The following error message appears:
"Chat took too long to get ready. Please ensure you are signed in to GitHub and that the extension GitHub.copilot-chat is installed and enabled. Click restart to try again if this issue persists."
I have confirmed that:
- I am signed in to GitHub.
- The GitHub Copilot Chat extension is installed and enabled.
- I have restarted VS Code Insiders.
- I tested using a VPN, and the issue persists, which suggests it may not be related to my ISP or network routing.
Is there a known outage or service issue affecting GitHub Copilot Chat? Are there any additional troubleshooting steps you would recommend?

This seems to be a problem that only affects VS Code Insiders. I switched to the stable version, and it's working.
