Agents window: context window usage indicator is not rendered for BYOK models when signed out
Author: Happy-Coding-TodayCreated Sep 14, 2026Updated Sep 17, 2026
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version: 1.137.0
- OS Version: Windows 10
Steps to Reproduce:
- Do not sign in to GitHub (signed out, no Copilot account).
- Configure BYOK so models are usable while signed out:
chat.agentHost.byokModels.enabled: truechat.agentHost.allowSignedOutWhenUsable: true- add a custom provider
- Open the Agents window and start or continue a session with one of those BYOK models.
- Send a message and look at the composer area (bottom right).
Actual No context window usage indicator (the usage ring) is rendered at all. There is nothing to hover and no token/percentage readout.
Expected The context window usage indicator renders and reports usage for BYOK models, the same way it does for first-party models.
