• Other unexpected behavior or failures

Recommended Actions

Since GitHub Copilot is a third-party plugin (developed and maintained by GitHub, not JetBrains), follow these steps for support:

1. Contact GitHub Copilot Support
   • The issue may stem from the plugin itself, GitHub’s services, or account settings.
   • Visit: GitHub Copilot Support
2. If Rider-Specific Issues Are Suspected
   • After troubleshooting with GitHub, if you believe Rider is contributing to the problem:
   • Collect relevant logs (Help → Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data)
   • Contact JetBrains Rider Support with details
