Body

from last 2 days, github copilot was causing the vscode to be unresponsive and forcing me to reopen it. And today google has flagged my account for suspicious activity and i lost my access to account and hence cant login to the copilot account as well. So i need help in either canceling the subscription or transferring that subscription to my other google account. please help, its really urgent.

To resolve your urgent issue, you must directly contact GitHub Support as you are locked out of your account. Due to account security policies, you cannot cancel or transfer a subscription without logging in or verifying your identity through support channels.

Possible Fix for GitHub Copilot Hanging in VS Code + Gmail Lock Issue

This usually happens when VS Code + Copilot triggers multiple background auth requests, and Google flags it as suspicious. A few things you can try:

Re-authenticate Copilot cleanly

Sign out from GitHub in VS Code

Close VS Code completely

Reopen → Sign in with GitHub
This resets the token handshake that often causes Copilot to freeze.

Delete corrupted authentication tokens

Go to VS Code → Settings → Accounts

Remove any stale GitHub or Microsoft tokens

Then re-sign in

Disable conflicting extensions
Extensions like older LLM assistants or workspace security plugins can block Copilot’s auth handshake. Temporarily disable them and check if Copilot loads properly.

Unlock your Gmail account
Google often flags these automated login pings.

Visit Google Account → Security → Recent Activity

Mark the attempts as “Yes, it was me”

Then re-enable app access if needed

Check network/firewall settings
Corporate or strict firewalls sometimes block Copilot’s auth endpoints, causing VS Code to hang instead of showing a failure message.
