Starting today, in our Copilot Student plan, we are removing GPT-5.3-Codex from the model picker. It remains available through auto model selection.

Auto model selection is built to match each request with the strongest model for the job, which means less time toggling settings and more time coding. It’s also how we keep the Student plan performant and free for learners around the world.

This change is part of the temporary reliability and performance measures we recently rolled out across Copilot Individual plans (Free, Pro, Pro+, and Student) as we prepare for the broader transition to usage-based billing.
