Disruption with some GitHub services

What happened

On April 22, 2026 from 18:49 to 19:32 UTC , the Copilot Cloud Agent service began failing during session execution for users running the Agent HQ Codex agent. Codex agent sessions failed to start for all entry points (issue assignment, @copilot comment mentions). 0.5% of total Copilot Cloud Agent jobs were impacted (~2,000 failed jobs). Copilot and other agent sessions were unaffected. This was caused by a model resolution mismatch in Codex agent sessions, resulting in an incompatible model being used at runtime. A mitigation was deployed to select a stable default model for Codex agent sessions. We are working to harden the underlying model-resolution path so it correctly scopes to the requesting agent's supported models to prevent similar failure mode in the future.
