The Error
While using Copilot Agent in VS Code, I got this error out of nowhere:
Sorry, your request failed. Please try again.
Copilot Request id: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
GH Request Id: XXXXXXXXX
Reason: Error on conversation request. Check the log for more details.The Fix
Just click Try Again. That's it. It worked immediately.
Probable Cause
Likely a temporary server-side hiccup. When using heavy models like Claude 4.5 Opus, occasional failures are expected.
My Experience
I used Copilot Agent (Claude 4.5 Opus) all day, and this error only happened once. Retry fixed it instantly.
No need to panic. No need to dig through logs. Just retry.
