Frequently does not complete chat (Generating... forever)

[chickenSandwich]

Type: Bug

I am chatting with Claude 3.5 Sonnet (Preview)
I ask it to create some code.
It outputs a few lines, but never completed.
The Generating... continues to display and it never finishes.
I have to manually stop the Chat.

This bug continues to happen. It seems like it only happens with Claude 3.5 Sonnet (Preview). Is there any additional information that I can provide?
I can tell you that when it occurs, there is no indication of an error in the GitHub Copilot logs.

Also, I waited for about 10 minutes and it finally failed with:

Sorry, your request failed. Please try again. Request id: 47f513e9-7ee7-4c90-ad9c-4a9ac678a2b2

Does starting a new chat via the + in the top right fix things for a bit? Claude is still a preview model for Copilot chat and we continue to work on improving cases where the model has problems

I have had the issue happen many times. Most of the time, I would become impatient (after what seemed like 5 minutes), stop the chat, and try again. It seemed like once I experienced the issue, further attempts to chat were 50/50. The last time it occurred I waited and finally, after about 10 minutes (probably less but there are no timestamps in the chat), it failed with the message: Sorry, your request failed. Please try again. Request id: 47f513e9-7ee7-4c90-ad9c-4a9ac678a2b2

I can tell you that I usually have multiple instances of VSCode open to different, but related projects.

I am assuming you do not experience this with 4o?

I don't use 4o as much, but that would seem to be the case.

Fixes landed and Claude has been looking much healthier in our data. Please open a new issue if you still see this happen.
