Inline completion for GitHub copilot extension in VSCode not working

Question

Since I have installed github copilot, the inline feature has not been working.

I have inline completion enabled both in the vscode extension settings as well as the settings.json file but still the inline completion does not show up when I try using it in the editor.

The settings.json file is as below:

{
    "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "C:\\Users\\GuptaC\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python312\\python.exe",
    "files.autoSave": "onWindowChange",
    "files.associations": {
        "*.py": "python"
    },
    "github.copilot.enable": {
        "*": true,
        "plaintext": true,
        "markdown": false,
        "scminput": false,
        "python": true
    },
    "editor.inlineSuggest.enabled": true,
    "github.copilot.editor.enableAutoCompletions": true,
    "github.copilot.chat.welcomeMessage": "always",
    "github.copilot.advanced": {}
}

The logs show:
