Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 show "Upgrade" even though I have Copilot Pro+ subscription #192198

This is a known issue that's been popping up a lot recently, even for Pro+ users. A few things to try: First, make sure your VS Code Copilot Chat extension is fully up to date. Open the Extensions panel, search for "GitHub Copilot Chat", and check for updates. Older versions of the extension don't always recognize newer model entitlements correctly. Second, go to https://github.com/settings/copilot and check that Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Claude Opus 4.6 are explicitly enabled under the model selection section. Sometimes after a plan change or renewal, models get toggled off on the backend even though your subscription is active. Third, try signing out of GitHub in VS Code entirely and signing back in. Open the Command Palette ( If none of that works, check your actual billing page at https://github.com/settings/billing to confirm the Pro+ plan is active and not in a grace period or pending payment. The "Upgrade" badge sometimes shows up when there's a billing hiccup even if the subscription looks active on the surface. One more thing: a few people have reported this resolving on its own after a day or so, which points to a backend propagation delay on GitHub's side. If you just subscribed or renewed recently, that could explain it. If it's still broken after all that, open a ticket with GitHub Support and mention the specific models and your plan type. They can check your account entitlements directly. |

I'm experiencing a related issue as a Pro+ subscriber (account: yufanwu345-eng, ~29% premium requests used this cycle). Specific observation: In my VS Code model picker, Claude Opus 4.6 (standard, 192K/3x) appears and works fine, but the Environment:
Troubleshooting attempted (all unsuccessful):
This seems related to the broader Claude model availability pattern also reported in #192178, #189722, and the tracking thread #189795. Would appreciate any update from the team on whether |

This is expected behavior in many cases and is usually related to model access tiers within Copilot Pro+, not a bug in VS Code. I encountered it myself, so here's a little helping tool: Why you're seeing “Upgrade” despite having Copilot Pro+Copilot Pro+ does not guarantee access to all models. GitHub currently gates certain models (like Claude Opus / Sonnet variants) based on:
So even with Pro+, you might see:
What “Upgrade” actually means hereIt doesn’t always mean:
It often means:
This can be due to:
Why other models work fineYou mentioned:
These are:

How to verify1. Check Copilot plan detailsGo to:
Confirm:
2. Try in another environment
If still locked → confirms account-level restriction 3. Sign out / refresh auth (just in case)# VS Code
Ctrl + Shift + P → "GitHub Copilot: Sign Out"
# then sign in againIf others with Pro+ are seeing the same thing,i think it’s a strong signal that this is a feature gating issue, not a configuration problem. |

opus 4.6 disappeared and the only one left is 4.7 at 7.5x ? Are you serious ? This is an extorsion. You want to upgrade to 4.7 and dismiss the 4.5&4.6 ? Ok, but you MUST set 4.7 at the same price as the older one |

Microsoft's attitude towards GitHub Pro was utterly disgusting. The executive who took this action should be fired. |

Not only will it be removed, but the 7.5x price is a promotional offer, meaning it will be ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE |

wtf ? This is unacceptable: please reactivate Opus 4.6 , because forcing Pro/Pro+ users onto 4.7 at a 7.5x cost factor makes the Pro and Pro+ plans worthless. |

Engraçado que eles falam que removeram em virtude do lançamento do Opus 4.7 mas esqueceram de remover o Sonnet 4 e outros, isso é uma bosta, to pensando em migrar para o Claude Code agora. |

Agora que o Opus custa mais caro, o Claude Code ficou mais vantajoso, boa sorte a quem teve essa ideia de dobrar o preço em consumo de requests por um modelo novo que é o mesmo preço do anterior. Não sou bobo. |

Just to clarify, will the Opus 4.6 models no longer be available under the Pro+ license? What will happen with Opus 4.7? I’d like to know what’s in store for the Anthropic models to see if the license is still worth it. |

Do they lure users to upgrade from Pro to Pro++ for using Opus 4.6? Then users upgraded, then they forced users to use the expensive Opus 4.7 instead of 4.6? |

it is like fraud making everyone upgrade to pro+ and after they do they dont provide access to opus 4.6 and then make you use opus 4.7 that is x7.5 more. So someone want to make quick money by stealing people and not even letting them know! |

Body
I have an active GitHub Copilot Pro+ subscription, but when I try to select Claude Opus 4.6 or Claude Sonnet 4.6 in VS Code, they both show an "Upgrade" label instead of being available for use.
Other models like Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Pro (Preview), GPT-4o, and GPT-5.4 are accessible without any issues.
