new models are greyed out and can't be selected

Describe the bug

I'm seeing this message for a lot of the new models.

This model is disabled by your organization's policy.
Enable it in settings or ask your admin: https://github.com/settings/copilot

I don't see anything at that link to enable the models. I never had to do anything previously though either. When GPT5.5 was released, it was available automatically.
I do have an org but my copilot subscription is with my personal account.
The attached image is what I see when I list models.

Affected version

1.0.75

Steps to reproduce the behavior

list models with /model

Expected behavior

No response

bump. this seems to be a common issue where the new models are not available. possibly because of the region they are in.

I opened a support ticket with GitHub on this as well, and found out that they are not rolling out new models to the 'legacy' plans. so you are stuck using whatever models you have currently or you have to close your 'legacy' plan and open a new one that is on the usage billing. seems a bit unfair really since I have about 5 months left on my current plan.
