Description

**Description**
After being prompted by the CLI to wait until a specific time before using Claude Opus 4.6 (high)
due to quota limits, I waited as instructed. Upon retrying, I now receive the following error:

Execution failed: CAPIError: 400 The requested model is not supported.
(Request ID: 49DD:6BE68:13F49D2:16EC696:69E6DD3C)

**Actual Behavior**
Error: CAPIError: 400 The requested model is not supported

**Environment**
- Plan: GitHub Copilot Pro+
- CLI Version: GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.32
- OS: Windows

**Notes**
The error message is misleading -- it says "model not supported" rather than a quota or
availability issue, making it hard to diagnose.
