no models available | 403 Forbidden: unauthorized: not authorized to use this Copilot feature

Describe the bug

I cannot seem to get any models to show up, and when i use the default it says no models are available.

I had been following this #173 which seems to of been fixed, as I no longer have that error. It's been many many versions since copilot cli has worked for me.

I'm using an enterprise account through my work, but I do not have access to create an issue through that account, so i used my personal github account.

Thank you for the report. I believe this is a dupe of #400 which @andyfeller is actively investigating.

#400 looks the same to as what i see. closing this. Thanks!
