Copilot CLI 1.0.32: Auto Model & Debug Flags

Copilot CLI 1.0.32 adds auto model selection, debug flags, usage warnings, and fixes rate limiting, terminal rendering, and GHE authentication.

TL;DR

  • Auto model selection now picks the best available model per session
  • New debug flags and usage limit warnings at 75% and 90%
  • Rate-limited sessions now retry instead of dropping messages
  • Multiple terminal rendering and authentication fixes

New

  • Auto model selection — Set model to auto and Copilot picks the best available model for each session automatically.
  • --print-debug-info flag — Display version, terminal capabilities, and environment variables for troubleshooting.
  • Usage limit warnings — Get alerted when approaching 75% and 90% of your weekly usage limit.
  • Document attachment — Attach supported document files to prompts for the agent to read and reason about.
  • --connect flag — Directly connect to a remote session by ID.

Improved

  • Rate-limited sessions — Now pause queued messages and automatically retry instead of dropping them.
  • Table rendering — Correct column widths, emoji support, and stable borders during terminal resize.
  • Rate limit errors — Error messages now show specific context based on the type of limit reached.
  • Session idle timeout — Now configurable via --session-idle-timeout; disabled by default.
  • Token limit handling — Skills exceeding the token limit are still discoverable and invocable by name.

Fixed

  • GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHE) authentication with copilot login --host now works correctly.
  • Agent context now includes local timezone offset in current date and time.
  • Terminal progress indicator stays visible while the agent is thinking.
  • Status line no longer shows stray Unicode glyphs in terminals like Neovim after /clear.
  • Rewind works correctly after using /cd to change directories.
  • Multiline input is preserved when using /plan and plan mode.
  • Backspace correctly exits shell mode only when input is empty.
  • Mouse wheel scrolling works correctly in the /ask dialog.
