According to status it is running normal, but it seems a lot of users, including myself who are paying users get the error "Thank you for participating in the GitHub Copilot Technical Preview. Your extended access has ended." - I get in both VS Code and JetBrains IDE:s
It’s a Thanksgiving miracle
From the comments:

> How am I expected to code and do my job, without an AI doing it for me!? I'm in too deep to go back now!!

I'm visiting family for the holidays, and tried to explain the situation to my grandmother.

When I told her what Copilot does and that it no longer works for me, she said:

  "Oh, so it's like recipes? I start with an idea of what I want to cook, and I ask Google, and it tells me the ingredients.
  "Except now you can't look up any ingredients, so you have to cook it from memory."
Yes grandma, exactly. Someone turn the recipes back on, please =(
If only they had some sort of underlying AI that was capable of rewriting code to fix errors.
Maybe they don't know how to fix the issue and Copilot can't help them. They also tried to search Stackoverflow but somehow DNS resolution failed.

And now it won't come back up ever again...

They just updated the status page.
