I have the same issue. A second account (my friend's) with a paid Pro plan has access to Opus, but education account doesn't. The education account also has a billing option and a valid payment method.

[Tiger-Foxx]

Me too

[fbajjar]

Me too, strangely enough. It happens on the SAME account. On my windows laptop, I don't have it, but on my Macbook I do.

I don't think this is a bug. There was discounted trial access in Cursor, and based on the Cursor discount, it would have cost 3x per request in Copilot, so it was probably removed.

GitHub Changelog: Claude Opus 4.5 Public Preview

Claude Opus 4.5 will be available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise users, priced at a promotional 1x premium request multiplier through December 5, 2025.

During the promotional period, Claude Opus 4.5 will also roll out as the default model for Copilot coding agent when enabled.

[Jeff-N-C]

I am still seeing an issue on the EMU side for it not being accessible for subscription plan

[kszpirak]

same still can't see fix. copilot reloaded. vs code restarted. same limited list.

Upgraded to ENTERPRISE accounting from my business team account thinking it will fix the issue. The upgrade is stuck; opened ticket but no answer.

try checking it out again because they pushed a fix like ~10 minutes ago. if you still have issues try saying something here: microsoft/vscode#286403

[NSU-Turag]

It's back

[nasirkhansayyad132]

for the past ~2 weeks I have not been able to see the Opus 4.5 model in the model selection list.

Just did:

• Signed out and signed back in

• Reloaded/refreshed the window (and restarted the app/editor)

the model list still does not show Opus 4.5 or anyother Anthropic models.

[karansinghrathoreai28-crypto]

Try to reinstall vs code if reset or sign in or out is not working.
If these should also not fix the problem, shift to antigravity for the time until the problem fix.
Antigravity is giving Opus 4.5 free for now

[1RB]

try checking it again, reload the window they pushed a fix, make sure you have it enabled in github settings:

[nasirkhansayyad132]

It is enabled from day 1 in github settings, I also recently uninstalled and reinstalled the vs code still I am not able to see the Anthropic models in model picker.

Anthropic models do not appear in Copilot cli as well:

Claude Opus 4.5 disappeared from my colleagues VS Code after a restart, I'm never closing VS Code again.

[Krishnaprasath24]

Claude Opus 4.6 disappeared, Even I restarted my vscode still not showing Opus 4.6 model.

[imhelensxzzzzz-boop]

Same!

[Redsu1951]

Even i lost the models. what is happening?

[kitokato77]

so... did you guys do something github ? or its just another experiments that you guys do ?

[TSM540]

I Don't like to bearer of bad news but in discussion #189268 #https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/189268 they did say they're removing Claude Opus, Sonnet and any "Top Tier" Model.

[jenkinv]

lost claude models too, sad

[imhelensxzzzzz-boop]

I lost the claude models. I miss claude opus 4.6 :(

[Guruganeshkannan]

As part of this transition, however, some premium models, including GPT-5.4, and Claude Opus and Sonnet models, will no longer be available for self-selection under the GitHub Copilot Student Plan. We know this will be disappointing, but we’re making this change so we can keep Copilot free and accessible for millions of students around the world. so if u are using a student plan u cant see it

[sisir0093]

i am not from the student plan though . how can it disappear in pro plan ?

[uesleicopilot]

I lost my Opus Dei and I'm not on the student plan. I'll have to look at the Claude code once. Copilot manages to be extremely frightening. For God's sake.

[badrshs]

I'm experiencing the same issue; I can't select any model and this is started this morning. I've opened a ticket with Copilot support, but I haven't received a response yet.
I'm on Pro plan

Here is the fix:

if you are a student you need to switch to the Github Pro plan (10 USD monthly or 100 USD yearly)
If you already are Github Pro (paid plan) you need to go to your Github account settings -> Billing and licensing -> Licensing. Go to "Manage subscription" under the green button on the top right and "Start paid plan".
Restart vs code and you'll have it

cheers!

Wool, it is very stranger. In your case it seems like different base account.
You plan has activated, i think is a other error.

Sorry but, i don't have any ideia about this.

sugestion @prathzzzz : Could you at least upgrade to a higher plan for 1 month? That way, I might force an update.
