[INFO] [fetch] [2022-05-19T21:00:55.452Z] Please upgrade your
 Copilot extension to continue using this service.

How can i solve this problem?


Solution 1:

You have to upgrade Vscode. go to-

Help → Check for Updates / Install Available Updates.

You may or may not need to re-install the extension and re-authenticate with git.

Solution 2:

As per solution 1 if you update & back into the VScode then check if the co-pilot is activated.

If it is not activated/still gives the same error.

  1. Search for co-pilot in VS Code extensions search
  2. Click on co-pilot extension in the search results, you should see restart/reload required.
  3. Reload and it should be working now. If not try closing VS Code and opening it now.
