Code suggestions in VS Code does not work

At the same time, in other IDE, for example, Webstorm, code suggestions works. But, as it turned out, not everyone...

P.S. the chat with the copilot works

To troubleshoot Copilot autocomplete in VSCode, try reinstalling the extension, ensuring compatibility with your VSCode version. Restart VSCode and check for conflicting extensions. If the issue persists, review VSCode and Copilot documentation or seek support from the GitHub community.

Tried everything, nothing helps:

• reinstalling the plugin
• installation of other versions of the plugin
• restarts
• etc

All the logs are adequate, the diagnostics pass, the chat works, but the code suggestions doesn’t work... And it worked about a month ago

[jdevfullstack]

it's based on interaction, sometimes it will not auto-complete, but the more intuitive one to be used is the Copilot Chat version, simply install the VSCode extension of it, you can highlight block of code that say you want to ask or find the bug, you can even sent it together with your questions, and it's more accurate doing the job, like say even a documentation, but it cannot read the entire codebase, you as the human should always navigate and correctly use the tool as it is intended

[vad-fedorov-datsteam]

We have problems not with understanding how to use the tool, but with the fact that the tool does not fulfill its declared functions, although money has been paid.
