Copilot in GitHub

Body

Hello GitHub Education Team,

My GitHub Student Developer Pack status already shows as Verified, but my GitHub Pro / Copilot Student benefits are still not activated.

When I try to access the benefits, I either see:

“Plan upgrades are temporarily unavailable”
or Copilot still remains on the Free plan.

I have already tried:

Logging out and back in
Using incognito/private mode
Revisiting the GitHub Education benefits page
Checking billing and Copilot settings

Could you please check if there is any issue with my account migration or benefit activation?

Thank you for your help.
