  3. investigating

    We are seeing modest recovery, but are still experiencing degraded availability for the Fable 5 model in Copilot products and IDE surfaces. This is due to an issue with an upstream model provider. While we work with them to resolve the issue, we recommend choosing another model or selecting 'Auto' to continue using Copilot.
