Description
Describe the bug
Hello, sorry for resuming the issue #173 , but today:
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.85.
Run 'copilot update' to check for updates.
Free copilot plan, i try to do /model and i get the issue:
Error loading model list: Error: 421 "Misdirected Request\n" (Request ID: ....)
Then i tried /model auto and that worked:
Model changed from claude-sonnet-5 (medium) to Auto for this session
And now i cant go back to my selected model, doing /model claude-sonnet-5 gives:
Unable to load available models list
Is this a bug or something expected related to free plan?
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.85.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Resumed an old session, using a free plan
- type /model
- See the 421 error
Expected behavior
I expect to see the list of models when typing /model and to get a "model changed" confirmation when typing /model claude-sonnet-5
Additional context
No response

Research direction
Reproduce the failure in GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.85 with a free plan by resuming a session and running /model, then compare it with /model auto and /model claude-sonnet-5. Trace the model-list request handling and the 421 response; the issue is done when listing models and selecting claude-sonnet-5 both succeed with confirmation.
