copilot-cli keeps asking to login again

[yurivict]

Describe the bug

copilot-cli worked fine until today.

Today copilot-cli began to ask me to login again even though I was already logged in with GitHub credentials using GitHub Business account for many days.

"/login" would log me in, but after Ctrl-C the new session would ask me to log in again. This happened many times.

The long running parallel session was present. This was a new circumstance today. Maybe this was the cause.

Then I logged in using "gh", and copilot-cli began to pick up login from gh and this solved the problem.

Had the same issue after generating a fine grained personal access token. I deleted the token and am not further required to login at every session. Hope this helps.

I currently have the same issue.

Github Copilot CLI version: 1.0.4
I'm authenticated using gh login. No environment variables.

Expected behavior is that my configured authorization is re-used when I start GHCP the next time.

Now each time I start GHCP I'm redirected to the browser and need to login.

I'm also seeing this on Windows 11 with version 1.0.7. I have to /login every time I use it.
