[ERR_HTTP2_INVALID_SESSION]: The session has been destroyed — causes repeated transient retries

[sriadd]

Describe the bug

The CLI surfaces Request failed due to a transient API error. Retrying... followed by:

✗ Error [ERR_HTTP2_INVALID_SESSION]: The session has been destroyed

This happens frequently (multiple times per session, often mid-turn on long reasoning responses). I would then be unable to issue a /restart command, and have to quit the cli and relaunch is with resume to continue. And then would encounter the issue again frequently

Affected version

1.0.47

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch copilot in a normal repo.
2. Run any non-trivial prompt that produces a long reasoning turn (e.g. multi-file edit, /research,
   planning).
3. Within the turn, the HTTP/2 session error fires; CLI retries.

The error is non-deterministic but reproduces within ~5–15 minutes of active use.

What I've already tried

• /restart — temporarily clears, error returns later.
• /update — already on latest (1.0.47).
• Switched models via /model — happens on multiple models.
• Forced IPv4 to rule out a broken IPv6 path: NODE_OPTIONS="--dns-result-order=ipv4first" copilot

Verified the flag is applied. Error still occurs.

Expected behavior

No response

+1 seeing the same issue myself, fairly frustrating and making it impossible to get anything done.

[WesleyHovick]

+1 this has been going on for me for over a week now it seems. Can we get some kind of rollback or something?

[HugoPalomares]

+1 seeing this issue for a few days now. In autopilot the agent will eventually continue after several minutes (over 20 min for me). Very frustrating, can't use it for anything in this state.

[doctor-phil]

+1, having this issue as well. It started about a week ago right around when this was reported. It happens whenever there is a long-running task, and particularly when there are background agents.

Sometimes it eventually continues, sometimes it hangs indefinitely. When it does so, it's usually (but not always) followed by a few (2-3) "transient API errors".

[copilot-cli-bot]

This appears to be resolved as of GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.88. Please update to that release or a newer stable version. We're closing this as completed. If it still happens, please comment with your version and reproduction steps.
