"Join the waitlist" even though I'm in the private beta

[simjnd]

Hi everyone,

I received an email yesterday telling me I was (finally) in the private beta for Copilot. I tried a couple minutes ago installing the extension for VS Code (1.61.2) from the .vsix, generated a new Personal Access Token for my account and pasted it in Copilot's prompt for the token. A little popup showed up telling me I wasn't in the beta and I should sign up for it by joigning the waitlist.

What should I do? I tried uninstalling and re-installing it but it no longer even prompts me for my account token.

Happy to provide more information if necessary!
