Copilot Student GPT-5.3-Codex removal from model picker

Source: GitHub Changelog

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 matches each request with the strongest model for the job, reducing the need to toggle settings and keeping the Student plan performant and free for learners worldwide.

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